Ok, I know that Blondie & Goldie are pullets. EEs are girls. Big roo is obvious as is his gf. Dark rock is roo & his gf. Bantam rock is roo? Bantam silkie & polish are ??. Also, big roo & gf are what breed or are they mutts? Thanks in advance!!

The little barred guy is confusing me. He is very petite and smaller than my bantam polish & silkie. Pretty sure he's a he. Was a solid light-medium brown with no markings as a day old. Didn't look like any of the barred chick pictures I have seen. Maybe he is just a mutt.

I am not so good with sexes, but I can help with the breed of your little roo. I think that boy is a little Egyptian Fayoumi. They are brown as chicks, though usually have a few white spots.

And if your big roo has slightly feathered legs like it looks like, he might be a Birchen Marans.

Ah... we got the little guy at the feed store & they just got in a shipment of bantams. Maybe he was a freebie in the shipment? He was the only one that was a mystery so we took him. Not a very friendly chick, but it's fun to watch him. And the roo does have a bit of feathering. We got him as a teenager along with his gf.

Another option is a Silver Campine. Both are light breeds, though LF, not bantam. Campine roosters are hen feathered and have white earlobes, Fayoumis have the regular hackles and saddle feathers, and have red earlobes, they're also a little bit smaller.

Mystery is 3 months old. Very tiny like I said. About the size of a dove. Clean legs & red lobes. He's fun to watch.

Big roo is a good size. Red lobes & slightly feathered legs.

Campines have white lobes so I would guess Fayoumi .

The little Roo looks like it could be a crele old english Bantam.

I was able to catch him to study a bit more. He really is quite pretty close up. Lots of different shades of grey, brown & black.
