The top two pics look very much like mine a tad smaller. Mine are 4 months cross red (lighter one) and Rhode Island red (darker). The one with red and white may be a Red Sex-link. In any case they're all some good looking chick's

 

[keesmom]

The red and white ones are red sex links and they are all pullets based on color. I think you have one production red that looks like a pullet. The last Orpington is a pullet.

This one could be a cockerel.

And a cockerel is???!!!! As I said I am VERY new to this!

Thanks!

The red and white birds are Red Sex-Link pullets. I see one completely reddish bird that is probably a Production Red pullet. Your tan birds are Buff Orpingtons. The one with the larger, redder comb is likely a cockerel, but the paler one is a pullet. As for age, I'm guessing that they're around 10 weeks old.

Oh, and a "cockerel" is a young male chicken under a year of age.

The one on the top of the pecking order is probably a cockerel, and the rest are pullets.
