Looking to identify the breeds of these roosters...

Looking at this more closely....it may have two horns on it rather than a single point for rose comb....I'm not sure what to call it. It might fall into the duplex rose, or walnut/rose category. Perhaps some who knows exactly what it is will pipe in. LofMc

If you are interested...here are even more comb types.

It looks like an oversized, "coarse" rose comb to me, on a Golden Sebright cock. Ideally, rose combs should be a little smaller and less rough, but sometimes, they turn out looking like this.

I can't see the top two well enough to be absolutely certain, but they are probably games...possibly Old English. The one poor fellow looks to have been attacked by something as there is significant feather loss. (Hopefully not through cock fighting as many games are still used for that sad sport).

On the farm, the first and second roosters are called Easter Eggers. A mix with Ameraucana blood somewhere back that often leaves some muff and beard, however neither meet standard so are automatically considered an Easter Egger. You can see what standard Ameraucanas look like here: http://www.ameraucana.org/gallery.html. Since you are trying to be accurate with your breeds, you should be aware of the whole Ameraucana vs. Americana vs. Easter Egger controversy here: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html

Also that first EE rooster on the farm has some pretty severe scaly leg (bumpy patches on the legs). You may want to pick a specimen for your artwork that doesn't example that.

The last fellow on the farm is a very pretty boy. I'm not sure what he is. At first blush I thought maybe Old English Game, possibly Black Breasted Red, but he is a bit heavy for a game. He might be another Easter Egger since the farm stated they only have those with Barred Rocks and White Leghorns, and what further else she did not know...but he does not have a beard or muff so he cannot be an Ameraucana.

You might consider going to a certified poultry show to see some really beautiful examples of roosters on exhibition, with clear descriptions of their breeds. That could do a lot to develop your eye, unless you are looking for the rural barnyard mix look, which has its own charm.

If breed purity is important to you for your artwork, be aware that usually any farm that doesn't know the breeds they have on the farm is usually not a serious breeder...just saying....they likely sell for meat or eggs but not for breeds, which is a fine occupation, but if you are looking to portray pure breeds, you should go to a well known breeder who knows exactly what they've got on the farm and is breeding towards standard.

You can see a lot of different breeds on this site: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/

Good luck on your searches for beautiful and scenic birds for your artwork.
