Help! Unsure of breed or gender!

[Chicken_Little11]

Hello! I am new to the whole chicken raising business and recently got 4 bantam chickens but am unsure of breeds or genders. I believe one is a Buff Orpington and one is a Blue-Laced Wyandotte. Also, the black chick is looking suspiciously like a roo because of its well developed, red comb. Anyone have any ideas of what I have? Thanks!!

Can you get some better individual pictures?

From what I can see so far, the black one is definitely a boy and possibly a Cochin, and the buff one looks like it may be a Brahma if the feet are feathered, if not probably a Easter egger! The gray penciled one may be another Easter egger but I can’t see its face to be sure. I do agree that the furthest in the back looks like a blue laced Wyandotte, but I think that one may be a boy too.

The black one is a boy. Does the buff one have feathered feet? It could be a Buff Brahma.

Yes, Blue laced red wyandotte, buff brahma, the other two we need pics of their faces/full bodies. He is indeed a boy.

Thank you for all your responses! I will definitely try to get better individual pictures of each for easier identification.

I currently have 7 mature laying hens (various breeds) and am concerned with adding *possibly* 2 roosters to the mix. Do multiple roosters tend to fight with each other or cause problems?

Yes! The Buff does have feathered feet! I believe it is a Buff Brahma now that I’ve seen other pictures them! Thank you!

Thank you! Yes, I agree with the Buff Brahma now that I’ve seen other pictures of them. Any idea of sex with this pic?
