Hatched out a batch of chicks and I think they're all cockrels

[RoosterHuggerLiz]

Are these baby's all cockrels?

(I'm not worried about the large brown one because I bought him to be a cockrell) their breeds are 2 orpington x Ideal 236 and one barred Rock x white bantam Cochin

Only the red looks like a for sure boy

Yup! He's a New Hampshire red

He looks more like a RIR to me but they do look similar so he just he weirdly dark.

The New Hampshire red is actually a breed of Rhode Island red that was bred for lighter colors believe it or not! After they get older they'll get lighter feathers (I've always had a hamster rooster)

It's the BR

It's the BR

If that chick has a head spot, its probably a boy. That's a sexlinked cross.
