Post it in the thread so we can all see it!

Here is my flock, I believe that the black and white one is a wyandotte (scarlett), the bearded one americana (cocoa), Rhode Island red (cherry), EE (cleo), then There's the three yellowish ones (buttercup, angel, sunshine) I have no idea what they are. Any help on the breed and gender? I got them as a baby sept 5 (cocoa and buttercup) the others I got sept 19th 2015.

You are correct about the black and white one; it is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. The bearded one is actually an Easter Egger rather than a true Ameraucana (the greenish legs are a dead giveaway; true Ameraucanas have slate blue legs). Easter Eggers are hybrids produced by crossing blue egg layers with brown egg layers to produce offspring that lay eggs in colors other than just blue (usually some shade of green). Hatcheries and feed stores frequently and incorrectly market their EEs as Ameraucanas when they are in fact Easter Eggers. You have at least one other (non-bearded) Easter Egger in your flock as well. The red bird with the white feathers in the second pic down is a Red Sex Link pullet. Cherry is a Production Red. Technically speaking there is little or no difference between Production Reds and hatchery quality Rhode Island Reds which lack the dark mahogany feathers, the profuse black tail feathering, and the deep body of heritage Rhode Island Reds.

I can't be sure but they all look like hens to me.

A rooster at that age would have a far bigger and brighter comb and in most hybrid crosses the roosters tend to be a color other then red (or the color of the Easter Eggers). It's lucky to have all hens! I got 10 Barred Rocks and ended up with 8 roosters and two hens.

You're welcome. All of them appear to be pullets. )
