Northwest Indiana
They were hatched May 1st, 2021
Roosters were Buff Orpington and/or Silver Laced Wyandotte:
Hens were:
Black Australorp
Buff Orpington
New Hampshire
Rhode Island
Isa Brown
I can tell sex on all but the 2 in the first 2 photos, hens or roos?

The rest I'd like to know what breeds they seem most to favor?

I just had to let my 1st broody hen hatch a mix of eggs. I ended up with mostly roosters☹️

Actually, picture 2 may have 2 females...better photos of the two would help. Especially the one in the foreground. The one closest to the camera is a female.
I can't make up my mind on the 1 in the center in pic #2 . It looks like a full B O, but about sex ?
The 5 bigger cockerel run the 3 smaller birds off. They end up on top of the minicoop every night until I come to lock them up and then they go inside after its dark.

Do you have pictures of the parents? One parent has to be barred to produce barred offspring (like a couple of your cockerels) but none of those breeds are supposed to be barred.

The only hens I have even remotely "barred" are 2 cuckoo marans and I don't believe I even incubated any of them!
I thought those 2 might be New Hampshire x Orpington.
