New chicken momma signing in with a breed question

5.jpg
 
Hey y’all, I have been looking at this site for a few weeks now and finally decided to sign up! I grew up with chickens but I was just a girl with a pet chicken in her bicycle basket back then. Now, I am raising and caring for them myself. We have started out with 6 chicks from Tractor Supply that my girls picked out. I am unsure of their breed or gender and would love to hear your thoughts! They are currently 6 weeks! I will post pictures of my babies below to help identify them.

We are thinking but unsure that:
-Lemon is a Cornish Hen
- Chocolate is an Ameraucana and might be part Silkie
- Rolo and Coco are some type of Bantams
- Snowball is a Leghorn and
- Oreo is a Silkie

Thank you for your inputs!
Hello! I have no idea about breeds but they are all adorable :love Lemon looks so fluffy! I have a Coco too (which you can probably tell by my username) except she's an Easter Egger. Anyway :welcome!
 
Chocolate is a Polish, probably gold-laced. No idea on sex.
Rolo and Coco both look like silver-duckwing Game bantams (I'm thinking old English.) Coco's a pullet, Rolo is a boy.
Oreo looks like a cochin, possibly mottled. Cockerel
Snowball is a cockerel, but I have no guess on breed.
Lemon does look like a Cornish Cross. (Cornish/White Rock cross. Not Cornish, which is a rather hardy breed of Asian chicken) Sorry. Cockerel.

And Welcome to BYC!
Thank you so much! I can't wait to research their breeds!
 
Golden Laced Polish

May be a Silver Laced Wyandotte, scratch that he has a single comb
Easter Egger
View attachment 1369864 View attachment 1369865 This is Oreo! I’m pretty sure these pictures are only a week apart! Growing so fast!
Mottled Cochin
Could be a Leghorn

They will all be free range once old enough. For now they are supervised free ranging.
Looks like a Cornish Cross cockerel.
