The barred rock is a pullet

Here are our 7 week old chicks.. Do you think we have all pullets here? Can you tell me if the is an Americana? Is this a Wellsummer?

The fourth one down looks like a roo, but the rest look like pullets. Not sure on breeds. The brown and black one on the very bottom looks like an EE, but it could be pure.

What breed is the one on top?

Last one is an EE pullet. Above her is a GLW - can you post a picture of him in natural lighting, please? I think the others are female, but again, pictures in natural lighting without flash would help determine.

The sun is bleaching out the pic. The comb on the Wyandotte is much darker than the other 3. I'm hoping I'm wrong. I can't legally own roosters where I live and I would hate to have to get rid of him if that were the case. Here are a couple of close up shots from a week ago.

Hi Dewtattoo! I LOVE your coop build post! I have a similar mixed flock coming up on a year old (how time flies . . .) and was also freaked out by my Wyandotte. I hadn't noticed until researching that Wyandottes have a "rose comb" as opposed to the "single comb" of your other breeds. So that is why she's looking different. My Wyandotte is also the boss chicken and went through a phase of jumping on the other chicks' backs so I definitely worried! But I assure you, she lays an egg every day now! :-D

Thanks for the compliment and the advice about the Wyandottes. Mine also acts like the boss, but occasionally gets shut down by my Speckled Sussex who happens to be the smallest in the flock so far. Kinda funny when it happens. We started calling the Wyandotte "Turbo" because she/he has a habit of running super fast from spot to spot every now and then.

Can anyone ID this hen for me. I have two, almost identical, but one lays a large grey blue egg and the other a brown so obviously they are mixed breed but I wondered if anyone knew what the parents might be.

Easter Egger. Hatchery sourced Easter Eggers are really mixed breeds. They just haven't been selectively bred to meet any particular standard. They can potentially have genetics to lay just about any color egg including blue, green, cream, or shades of brown.

Sorry, I meant to post this on the breed question forum.
