Don't know what breed or gender you have? Click here!

Family friend works at a school, they hatched chickens....then didn't know what to do with live animals and needed them to disappear, so we took all 7. Not really a problem we have the land and facilities to take care of them. However now that they are around 5 months old we're really curious about what breed they are. Any help? (they are around as tall as our RIR but super heavy)

Need a very clear side view of this one.

I just took these pics.
It might be worth noting that when they hatched the blue pullet Breezy and this chick Monterrey looked very much alike. I am nearly certain they both came from the same set of parents.
As they have matured Monterrey has taken on a ton of rust-orange coloring with much less blue. On the other hand Breezy had more rust color around her hackle and has minimal rust coloring weaved into her hackle now.

I'm so sorry to be a nag, but might you also be able to give your opinion on Bristol (the other BR mix who has light/white on head and hackle and "normal" color barring further back on his/her body). And Lucy Dos who is the yellow-gold 1/2 silkie and 1/2 Buff Orp.
I really appreciate your time and expertise!
 
Sorry! I asked again before I saw your reply.
Now we only have Monterrey to sex and Bristol. It may look confusing bcs there are 2 atypical BRs in these pics. (btw I stole the phrase atypical BR from you @junebuggena ). The first one Vilana (the huge) pullet is light yellow barred on her head then hackled goes into golden color barred and by the time you get to the body she's usual color BR.
Bristol, on the other hand, is white on his/her head then gets darker as we look front to back.
 
Hi I know the breed - Buff Orpington ... Bunty is supposed to be a hen but I have a sneaking suspicion she may be a he ...? About 4/5 months old.

What do you think :)??

That one is a cockerel. Need a clear pic of Bristol. The body was too blurry to see feather detail properly in the ones previously posted.

Mixed breed cockerel.
 
Thanks @junebuggena. So I guessed right for once about Monterrey, lol.
Here are just taken pics of Bristol. Please excuse the big mess. (I got seriously impacted by hurricane Irma and have been cleaning the ceilings off the floors so I missed a cleaning date!)
