Hello all, my dad purchased 4 chicks from a friend, all of which are a different breed. The exact breeds unknown, and they could be hybrids.
I’d like a second or third opinion to know what they could possibly be. Genders are already determined

Female: Possible Jersey Giant? She is HUGE. Biggest of the bunch with a big appetite

Male:

Female: Very pretty, cream-colored wings that have bits of black in them. Darkish beak; reddish head (looks like she has a red beard)

Male: Very mellow; also has VERY beautiful, intricate wing pattern

At that age only the most precocious of cockerels is apparent. So chick #2, that barred one, is obviously a cockerel. All of the rest look like pullets not but it's very likely that will change as they get older. 8 weeks is a good age to try and sex the ones that aren't already obvious.

Breed also is difficult at such an early age and also because of the possibility that they are mixed breeds.
