Dead neighbour; flock transfer

[AxelCoon]

Good evening everybody; sorry for the grim title but i need some help.
Unfortunately my neighbour died last week in a car crash and as he was living alone; his family cannot care for his chickens; so i decided to buy his entire flock.
The new flock is currently held in a separate coop from my own chickens - but i have a small problem. Can someone help me identify these breeds? There seem to be 3 different breeds. I need to know their behaviour before mixing the two flocks together.
Thanks a lot!

I don't know the breeds, but it looks like over half are roosters, so you may want to consider separating the hens.

You are such a kind soul, God bless you for buying those chickens from the family, I'm sorry to hear about your neighbor. Welcome to the BYC family, we will be here to help you in every way we can

I don't know all of them, but I do see a lot of Red Sex Links. You did a great thing!

Thanks a lot.
The white ones are aggresive. All of them peck me when i enter their coop. I don't think they would get along well with my 4 year old hens. (this new flock hatched in April)

So glad that you were able to take these in; sorry it was in such unfortunate circumstances.

In the top photo, all birds appear to be mixes of some form, I believe that originally they were bred from red sex links, as @RodNTN suggests, but after several generations of breeding you see such variety. I can see some mottling in some of them; the red cockerel leaning over his buddy and the two pullets at far right.

I agree that you should look at separating out and possibly culling some of the boys depending on how many hens you have available; ideal would be 8-12 per cockerel.

The second picture appears to be a meat bird due to the short stance and big legs.

It looks like at least some are either mixed breeds or some hatchery layer strain like Dixie rainbows. The red birds don't quite fit for any breed, but they are probably production reds and production red crosses. I can make out two cockerels and three pullets of them.

The white ones with black in the tails and hackles could be crosses, too. They could also be hatchery Colombian rocks or Delawares. In your first photo I can make out two cockerels and one probably pullet of that type.

The white one in the last picture could be a Cornish cross or white rock. It is a cockerel.

X 2 on what Jed Jackson said - many cockerels also.

In the top picture i see 4 roosters for sure. Red sex link, rode island or new hampshire reds, and columbian rocks, would be my guess.
the bottom photo is a cornish meat bird.
Thank you for rescuing your neighbors birds. Im sure he would be gratefull to you as well.
I would send the axcess roosters to freezer camp soon , or rehome them.
They may begin to be kind of rough on the hens.
GOD BLESS YOU!

I really appreciate your replies, thank you wonderful people.
I am also a romanian alcoholic beverage maker and i have many fruit trees for the 3 most important fruits to make romanian brandy ( plum, pear and quince) so i happen to have a huge stockpile of fruit this time of year. Can i give the chickens a mix of those 3 fruits? Like a blended mix (as quince is way too hard)
