Hi Everyone!

We have some more breed and sex questions for the experts. Our chickens are approximately 10 weeks old and were hatched by our local kindergarten class so we aren't sure on either breed or gender.

#1 we think is obviously a cockerel. He and #2 were identical as chicks and started to differ as they matured.

Please let us know what you think for breed and sex for each. Thanks!

1 asil cockerel, 2-3 asil pullets, last buff Orpington cockerel.

one cockerel, the rest are pullets.

Sorry, we are beginners. What is ASIL?

We don't think #4 is a Buff Orpington. It has some green iridescence in its tail and also some feathering on its legs. We can post some more pictures if that would help.

Found Asil is a breed. I would be surprised if we got something that exotic.

Here are a couple more picture of #4's head and feet.

I think you have 1-2 Roos and at LEAST 2 pullets. I’m not sure of the breed though (maybe mixes?) Very pretty birds though

There aren't many birds that stand like that and have that neck and peacomb. And remember that Welsh Harlequin ducks are on the rare breed list--I wouldn't be surprised to find those in someone's yard either. By the feathers on #3's legs, I would say Asil mix.

Wow! Such beautiful pictures of beautiful birds! Definitely 1 and 4 are cockerels, and 1 and 2 are definitely the same breed. I can’t tell you the exact breeds, but others seem pretty spot on so far. 4 though, I’m not sure because he has the look of a buff Orpington but the feathered legs and slight green iridescence is saying no. But they are such beautiful birds, sometimes we should just enjoy them, even if we don’t know the breed they are still gorgeous!
