Noob here. Have 7, 7 week old chickens that I ordered and picked up at the local hatchery. Ordered 6 pullets as follows - 2 Buff Orpingtons, 1 Black Australorp, 1 Easter Egger, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 1 Golden Laced Wyandotte. The hatchery threw in the seventh.

First which breed is this chicken, and is it a pullet?









Second Which is the GLW or do i have 2? and are they female?












Thank you in advance.
 
The two you have in question both look like EE to me. EE's are a mix breed chicken so they can be any color really, but looks like both have muffs and green legs.
 
The first one in question could be an EE, but it lacks the characteristic beard.

The gold-laced bird is the one sitting against the post, on the far left. The only problem is that's a straight comb and Wyandottes have rose combs, like the one in the close-up photo you took. That bird has the right comb, but the feather color would be TERRIBLE for a GLW--especially with the breast feathers being a different color than the back feathers. Straight combs do happen in Wyandottes, but don't try to show it.

I believe the GLW is a pullet.

Thank you, they are my daughters pets. She doesn't plan to show them. Can you tell if any of the birds in the pictures are male?
 
they all look like pullets and you have 2 ee's and the free one may turn out to be a cockerel
