I don't know about the breeds but so far I think that Pico, and the one with "cheeks" look like your only girls.

^^ The ones in post #20 are all girls. We found good homes for everyone, but nobody wanted just roo's, (I don't blame them) so we gave them some girls also.

Sorry, but you have a lot of boys.

Ther're beautiful though!

Who sold them to you??? I think it is so wrong that people will sell a newbie a whole mess of cockerels. Just so wrong!

I have a couple of mutts that look like Cheeks and Pico.
They were fathered by a SLW and the mother options were 1) leghorn 2) barred rock 3)RIR
My money was on the leghorns for obvious reasons.
I also don't think the SLW was pure. He didn't have too much obvious lacing.
Mine are Snoopy and Delilah.
Snoopy is cream white with brown and Delilah is ashy white with black.

But I also agree you had a lot of boys there...

No one. We hatched them from eggs given to us by a local 4H.

It just so happened that A LOT of them were cockerels.

Ah! I see! I noticed that it seems like everyone was hatching more cockerels than pullet this year! Anyone else notice that? I had a broody hatch out 4 babies and all 4 are boys!!!
