the high school was having a poultry auction and we just had to go look. so i bought these 3 mixed breeds the hatched,supposed to be EE mixes. any idea of what kinds they are,or if i got lucky and got pullets

Looks like pullets except for the middle picture looks like a cockerel to me. I believe he is also the one in the bottom left hand corner of the last picture.
 
it was really crazy in there, i didnt even try to bid on anything else. when these guys came up i thought they looked cute. anyway when i went to pick the ones i wanted there were some definate roos in there, bigger,redder combs. when i got home i started thinking,oh this one looks like a roo. im going to keep my fingers crossed,i have 2 BA hens that everyone swore where roos lol
 
Yeah, I believe the middle one is a roo.

That's a perfect combination!

You could have one hen laying eggs for you to eat and the other one brooding some chickies!

That would be so cute.

oh belive me it was tempting lol. but the fact that it was for the school made everone bid really high. i paid 4 bucks apiece for these guys and i think that was about some of the cheapest birds,well and my hubby bought 5 meaties for 10 bucks. one lady paid 57 bucks for a polish chick. at least the kids made some money.
 
It was a good cause and you got some pretty little mutts!!

I'd say the one you suspect is a roo, is correct... but it's still a little too early to tell.

Oh wow, you guys over in America get them cheap!

Over here there are prices ranging from $5 to $20 for a measly production red. Got mine for $7.50​
