So we started this journey about 4.5 months ago. We started out with 2 ducks (jumbo pekins, ended up with both a male and a female :) ) then about 2 weeks after the ducks we got our chickens. 3 Chantecler hens and what was supposed to be 3 Wyndottes,(2 silver laced and 1 golden laced) now I'm fairly certain that one of the "silver laced" (the solid white with a black spot on its back) is a roo... :( any input?

They don't have the right comb for Chanteclers and there should be nothing but white in their plumage if they were that breed. How old are the birds in question and can you get clearer photos? It's difficult to see much.

This is a pic if all 6 together. All i know is that the tag at TSC said the 3 solid whites were chanteclers. And the other three came from a bin labeled wyndottes. I'm like 90% certain that all are hens other than the one white one with the black dot. ItS stature is just different from all the others. The others are all short and squatty and a lot poofier ( is that even a word? Lol) and this one is all leg and scrawny and struts around like it thinks it is the king of the world, lol

None are Wyandottes or Chanteclers. I think the two big white ones are cornish cross meat birds. The barred bird is probably a barred rock, the red a production red, the white with black tail maybe a Deleware, and the skinny bird you think is a cockerel probably is a Leghorn or mix. This bird does have the posture of a cockerel but without better pictures of its comb, neck feather, and tail and saddle feathers it's hard to know.

Once my phone is charged back up enough to take better pictures I will try and get some individual pictures. Thank you so much for the information! :)
