I'm about a week and a half new to this chicken thing so bear with me. I didn't know I'd need details to ID them, but I'll tell you what I know and I tried to take good pics based on the guideline post. (Took about 100 shots - these chickens don't like to pose or stay still!) I'd like to confirm I've got all pullets (new word I learned here) and figure out what breed 3 of them are. The white birds came to us in a box from our cleaning girls and are supposedly 9-10 weeks old? The brown ones were party favors and I was told they would lay eggs in December.

Chicken 1 (aka Bomber). Was told she's an Easter Egger.




Chicken 2. Speckled Sussex.




Chicken 3 (aka Eggbird).




Chicken 4. (Check out the little girl peeking out from under in the 1st pic)





Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
New Mom Kelly
 
I see an ee, a speckled sussex and two mixed breeds. They are all pullets except I'm not positive on the sussex. If it were a roo I'd think it would have a lot more comb at this age, but the legs and stance make me think roo. I know color can help sex them, someone with more experience with this breed will chime in and say for sure.
 
the sussex appears to be a cockerel and the rest a pullet but i am not to sure on the sussex though
 
Thank you! I'm adding another picture of the Sussex that was taken in better light in case it helps the Sussex color expert. How old before boys crow? I've got to confirm one way or another before then and do something about it if I won the "lottery."
