Hello from Amarillo Tx! I'm new to keeping chickens. It has been a great experience so far. I'm grateful for all the helpful advice from BYC. I purchased a straight run of mutt chickens in June. I think I may have an australorp, leghorn mixes, RIR, and an easter egger. I think I may have only 1 hen out of 8. I'm hoping for some insight on possible gender and breeds. They are 11 weeks old.
Easter Egger Roo?

RIR I really want this to be a hen but it has pointy green tail feathers

RIR hen?

Leghorn Roo?

Leghorn mix hen? This chicken is huge with tree trunk legs but doesn't crow yet.

Australorp Roo? Beautiful green sheen and long tail feathers.

#1- rooster
#2- rooster
#3- If they are all 11 weeks old than this chicken could be a hen ( because the comb is a lot smaller) but I think I see saddle feathers
#4- rooster
#5- If its legs are really thick then it's a probably a rooster
#6- and 7- might be a rooster because of the long tail.
Can you get clearer picture from the side of the production red and australorp?

#3 is a hen! I kept the RIR rooster and rehomed all but the Easter Egger Roo. If anyone is close to Amarillo Tx, he needs a good home too. I acquired 6 hens and they are doing great so far. Thanks for all the help. Got my first eggs from a pair of 6 month old Barred Rocks today.
