Chicken in question, Dad, Mum. About 3 -4 months old. I just can’t decide.

Was labeled Buff Orpington female, all yellow chick. Now I think likely a NH Red (black tail feathers, a little black markings coming in along the shoulders). 8 weeks. Very sweet. That comb, though....

3 weeks and 3 days.
I hatched them out of my flock egss. I mixed NN ROOSTER with Wlellsumer, SUSSEX, LEGBAR.. and olso Colored Meat chickens..

I have 7 birds here. The first is an Orpington that seems halfway between my other Orpingtons and likes to fight the cockerels.

The remaining 6 are Barred Rock? I think the first two are pullets.

and then two cockerels...

But then these last two are way in color lighter than the other two cockerels with much much smaller/paler combs and wattles so they have me second guessing. All the supposedly pure barred rocks are from the same hatch.

2, 3, 6, 7, and 13 are possible pullets, the rest are cockerels

How old is the Orpington? Your guesses about the first four are right, the last two are cockerels

I’d love it if someone would weigh in on this one.

Cockerel

Cockerel

That’s what I was afraid of. I have a Polish cockerel and he’s very sweet. The one pictured is being hateful to him. So, do you mind helping me for future reference? The tail feathers are short and stick straight up, the saddle feathers seem so small compared to the Polish(same age), no crowing(Polish let us know weeks ago), and wattles are pink as compared to the red of the Polish. Is this just a breed variation? I will say that this one picks at the Polish cockerel, but not the Polish pullets. I actually had to treat his head today.
