Gender and Breed Questions

[ackie]

I have a mix of 3-month-old Whiting True Blue (WTB) and Whiting True Green (WTG) and 1 Mystery Chicken from McMurray. Mystery chick appears to be a Buff Cochin - fluffy feet, single comb, no extra toes. I also have 3 mystery female chickens from the feed store - they weren't meant to be mystery but my SO forgot their breeds. Of these 20 chickens, I *should* have only up to 2 roosters- one WTB and probably the Cochin. Since Whiting isnt a standard breed at all, I'm not entirely sure if my instincts are correct on sexing. The WTB are a line derived from Amerucananas (yep, that's how many ananas it needs, definitely) and a production white egg layer. The WTG is just for fun and doesnt even breed true, but it's a WTB crossed with a production brown layer, as far as I can tell. Ones supposed to have pea, the other single, but looking around me, I'm not especially confident on that (or I got the wrong birds). I digress.

My best bet as a rooster is

second guess, or second rooster that I wasnt supposed to get:

and then curious on the breeds & sexes of these:

there are 2 of these

and one of these

oh yeah wanted to figure out the sex of the cochin too

happy to take more pics

Pic of 3rd bird looks like gold laced Wyandotte.

Cochin and your two suspected males are all males.

interesting *folds hands together*

well that's what I figured anyway haha

McMurray sent me an extra chick that did die early on and I was refunded for, so maybe that was one I ordered and the 2nd roo here is another free mystery chicken.

Looks like you were right. The white and brown bird pictured is a cockerel. The blue bird pictured is a cockerel. The buff Cochin is a cockerel. The gold laced Wyandotte is a pullet, and all the rest look to me, too.

Agreed

any thoughts on the breed of the black one? I'm pretty sure she was my other feed store bird.
