Hi šŸ˜Š from a fresh member!
I hatched these chicks from fresh eggs from a village in Greece...intend to keep any cockerels in my bachelor flock in a field, while the hens with my existing two hens in my small city garden.
Having read a lot of info, I am super confused by the following:
-All have combs very early
-The largest one with the bare legs gets scared easily and acts as a hen (I don't know their breeds so maybe a large hen?) Also the rounded neck feathers...
-The other two are smaller, have feathered legs, maybe a small breed? Especially the black one is very brave, gets as high as he can and watches...the second has a medium brave behavior...both have pointy neck feathers...
I attach their pics and hopefully collect opinions from more experienced people...oh and if you have any idea of their breeds?
Thank you!

Not sure of the gender...but the striped one looks like a Barred Rock and the dark one looks like a Black Australorp. But wait...do I see feathers on the feet of the darkest one? Black Australorps don't have feathered feet...neither do Barred Rocks...do all of these have feathered feet? Maybe they are a mix of sorts...

Thanks! The two "smaller size" have feathered feet, while the largest "hen" with the round neck feathers has bare feet..
 
The one that is mostly black is a boy and I think a french black copper maran, the one that is black and white with the smallest comb is a girl and a barred rock. The black and white splotchy one I canā€™t say for sure.
Thank you! I think the same for the black one :) My son named it "Gamer" because as soon as it hatched (first of all), he followed my son's finger around the incubator lid :D:D:D he was telling " he goes where I "click" hahaha...
