Could be wrong though. Observing behaviour is often most reliable. Who is crowing?
Brown Leghorns and that's the female pattern so they're definitely pullets.View attachment 1054760 View attachment 1054761 View attachment 1054762 View attachment 1054763 View attachment 1054764 Can you tell what these are and it's a boy or a girl We got them march first they said 18
more weeks before they have eggs
I'd like to see side photos because I think I see male saddle feathers on Ostrich. The other two look female to me.Any thoughts on these 3 - boy or girl? They are 10 weeks old and were sold to me as fertile lavender Araucana eggs (in Australia - we don't seem to use the same definition of "araucana" as US). The eggs were duck egg blue/green. They follow around the 2 cockerels that hatched along with them, behave more submissively and don't join in the crowing.

Your bird looks like a easter egger cockerel. Definitely not a golden laced Wyandotte!Seem to think my shy 9 week old golden laced wyandotte "Big Girl" is a big boy??? My husband says only time will tell. Thoughts please?View attachment 1054768
Time will tell but that guy's 100% cockerel and not a Wyandotte. He looks like a typical EE cockerel.Seem to think my shy 9 week old golden laced wyandotte "Big Girl" is a big boy??? My husband says only time will tell. Thoughts please?View attachment 1054768
You do know cornish x are bred to be harvested for meat at 8-9 weeks? They're prone to a myriad of health problems and aren't a good choice if you want a sustainable meat bird.View attachment 1054714 View attachment 1054715 View attachment 1054716

I suspect that more spangles show after the juvenile molt and I'd put $ on these being Swedish Flower. There are images online of others with the same basic appearance. As with EEs, there is a good amount of variability in appearance but also some common looks that show up when you take a large sampling.here are a couple of newer pictures of the two mystery chickens, one that is darker and one that is very light (the third to last picture is the lighter chicken with an ancona of the same age):
