I think you have a bunch of mutts and not the specific mutts you were told. All the ones with muffs may lay blue or green eggs or carry the genes. Cinnamon Queen is a Red Sexlink so a cockerel wouldn't have that much red. Could be second generation, but at that point it's a mutt because it loses sexlinking. Your Silkies are hard feathered meaning they're mixes as well :( You also have many cockerels (at least four), I circled the obvious ones but individual pictures (of black ones in particular) would still be great in case I missed one.

😭😭oh no ok. This is my first flock 💔 I will go grab pictures in a few.
I’m also the only neighbor that has chickens (plus new to the neighborhood), and am hearing a crow in the morning so am trying to figure it out fast. I sadly can’t have any roos 😢

thanks for the fast reply!

I'm sorry :( When did you get them? I wonder if someone may have pawned off some mixed breed cockerels :(
