Bought these from rural king, I'm only interested in two varieties (spangled and silver duckwing) and I'm hoping someone with some knowledge can tell me what kinds I picked out. I'm quite sure I picked out silver duckwing correctly (1&5) but I'm very unsure on the other colors.
Varieties RK had to choose from:
Silver duckwing
BB red
Blue breasted red
Crele
Spangled

Perhaps. It may also be a matter of waiting until the color patterns are more apparent.
I'll post em and if you can tell, let me know, if not I can wait and try again in a week or two. 🙂 I also have a question about the silver duckwing. I've noticed some have more of the brown coming in and others have black. Does that mean you can tell hen from rooster as soon as they feather out or do they molt into their hen/roo plumage?

It's the breast feathers that are important. Males get black feathers in that area, and females get salmon colored feathers. This is true in black breasted reds, too.
