Age? Where did you get them?
The first one is not a barnvelder because of the feathered feet. I think it might be one a hatchery quality Salmon favorelle cockerel.
The second one could be a blue barnvelder. It is looks he is cockerel as well.

Both cockerels... 1st does look like a poor quality Faverolles, 2nd is very poor quality Barnevelder...

They are about 3 months old. I did order some Salmon Faverolles, and I had no idea this was probably a male Faverolle!

My birds came from Northwoods Poultry in Wisconsin. Can you tell me if this Buff Brahma is a roo or hen?

 

[Ravynscroft]

Brahma is a cockerel as well...

Oh darn, I was hoping for a female Brahma! I guess given this information, I now have 7 pullets and 4 cockerels total. I think I will try and sell 2-3 of the cockerels, keeping my black maran cockerel.

Thank you very much for the information. I am learning so much on this site!

did you get them from a hatchery???? I don't suppose you could return them.

Agree I see a Faverolles, a Barnevelder and a Brahma, all cockerels.

Nice thing is, they're kind of unusual breeds so you may have a chance of selling them. I usually can't give cockerels away but did have someone pay for a Faverolles cockerel last year.

Good luck!
