Hi there everyone. I’ve been scrolling through every time I’ve had a chicken question the past year and a half. Finally just signed up so I could ask y’all for help determining what I’ve got growing in my coop at the moment. They are all almost 7 weeks old and I am still stumped.
I got 2 sexed Easter egger pullets from the feed store. Then I noticed they had lavender orpingtons! They were straight run, and they only had 3 left, so I got all of them.
A couple days earlier, my white Faverolles hatched 4 eggs. She sat on 2 of hers and 2 of the light Brahma eggs. They were fertilized by the silver laced Wyandotte rooster.
So in the pics, I’ve got 2 brown Easter egger pullets, 3 grey mystery orpingtons, 2 Faverolles/SLW, and 2 Brahma/SLW.
I think the largest Faverolles mix with the single comb is a rooster. He is kind of a jerk to the other chicks.
Other than that, I’m second-guessing myself and really have no idea how many rooster homes I need to find. Can anyone help?

The EE pictured is a pullet, and the 3 orpingtons also appear to be pullets. The barred cross bred is a pullet, and the 3 more white birds appear to be cockerels. Time will tell the true tale.
