New chicken dad, trying to ID my urban flock.

Hey all, I'm in Western PA and have a backyard flock of five. Hatched the eggs that some friends gave me, but they're unsure of who laid what.

What we know: their flock is mostly Jersey Giants and Golden Laced Wyandottes, however they have some that are clearly "other" as far as I can tell. Some they got through a poultry assortment. All of these are around 7-8 weeks old.

These two are clearly Wyandottes, but the one has a standard comb. I'm pretty sure he's a cockerel and the other a pullet. The "cockerel" has some shiny metallic feathers.

These two are where I get confused. I assumed both were JG but they're starting to look different and what looks to be the cockerel has a pea comb which JG shouldn't have.

Finally, here's General Tso and I don't even have an inkling what he is. A cockerel, I think, but as for the breed I'm all shoulders.

Thanks so much to those who reply, this is my first post here so sorry if the formatting is ugly.

General Tso looks like he has Mille De Fleur coloring! Maybe part D'Uccle?

Whoa, those are pretty birds! You're right about the coloring, however his legs and feet are without any feathers.

So the friends flock is mixed hens? What is the rooster?

I’d guess that you have some mixed breeds chickens that might partially resemble one or both parents if I understand correctly.

My Jersey giant also has what looks to be a pea comb...

Huh. I was a few weeks in thinking that the combs would help identify their gender and as it turns out, I guess it's more complicated than that, hah.
