Hi.
I’ve had chickens for about 10 months now. I started with 6 and now have 15!

Welcome to BYC! Thanks for joining us!

Welcome! Sounds like you are enjoying your flock!

From what you said, I might guess your big blue and red man is also a PBB egger cockerel, but I know they have a lot of variety in how they appear.

Golden Comets and Production Reds are not all that dissimilar when it gets right down to it, if that's what it turns out you got instead. TSC is always a fun time! Hahaha

I got chicks that were sold to us as French Wheaten Marans, that are actually most likely Starlight Green Eggers, and one turned out to be a cockerel as well! Hopefully he stays a good boy for me And you too! Can you keep the males, or one at least?

I am guessing the back is a red SGE, who looks similar to one of mine, and the middle one with the super high tail looks like PBB.

Thanks! Yeah TSC has been pretty unreliable with this batch of chickens.
My first girls were exactly what they were supposed to be.
And these…. I got roosters and mixed up breeds.
I think I can keep the roosters. They’re behaving pretty well for now. But I’m not sure I have enough hens for them. I have 14 hens for two roosters.

Thank you!!! I guess we’ll know for sure when they start laying. Lol

and after looking at those pictures more closely, it looks like you might be right… most of mine are probably PBB’s. Even the ones I thought were starlights look like one in the pic you posted.
I guess I’ll have plenty of pretty egg colors in my basket this summer either way.
