You have a Buff Orpington, a Silver Laced Wyandotte cockerel, & an Easter Egger

Thank you so much for your input. I was beginning to think what I thought was a silver laced Wyandotte hen was a rooster. The tail feathers are starting to get long and graceful. Well the people I got these chicks from ...saw me coming. A real newby! I'm happy about the EE. Now I need to read about them. Guess I'll be looking for a home for my two roosters that I purchased as hens. I started to see the two of them squaring off. They need to go soon. I just love my Barred Rock, Barbara. She is so affectionate.

Roosters can make a nice addition to the flock. Especially if you plan on adding more hens (you will, you just may not know it yet) 1 rooster isn't such a bad idea if you are allowed.

It's ok they will be great pets anyway! I bought 5 pullets from a farm one time (my first chickens ever). My australorp ended up growing a beard and being a pure ameraucana. My bielefelder ended up being mixed with something else and not pure (like I'd paid for). My littles got sick because they were not actually ready to be outdoors without heat as promised by the farmer and 2 didn't even make it . I learned a lot early on and BYC helped a lot and I nursed the others back to health and have added to my flock since then and life got easier. It's overwhelming at first, and things go wrong, but eventually you get a good routine and you get eggs!

You've all been very helpful. I can't keep roosters where I live even though I have 6 acres. As beautiful as he is, I'll need to place him and the red rooster that I was sure is a rooster elsewhere.

I've actually been very lucky for my first venture into keeping chickens. I love my other girls and all have survived from couple days old to laying hens now. So exciting to check the nesting boxes each day. It's like Christmas morning every day.
