Purchased 5 4-wk old pullets that should now be 16 weeks old tomorrow. The breeds I purchased are: Buff Orpington, Silver Leghorn, Russian Orloff, Blue Wyndotte, and Silver Wyandotte. The BO recently grew saddle feathers and 2 sickle feathers so obviously a cockerel. Are there any other cockerels here and which picture is which breed?


Azure (think pullet) and think Blue Wyandotte. Correct?



Tinker Bell (the one in front) .. think pullet and Silver Leghorn. Correct?


Buttercup (cockerel) and Buff Orpington. :(


Daisy (think pullet) and Russian Orloff? Is that right?


Taylor (think pullet) and Silver Wyandotte. Is that correct?
 
#1. Blue Wyandotte pullet
#2. Silver Leghorn pullet
#3. Buff Orp cockerel
#4. Pullet, but sure doesn't look like an Orloff to me.(I've never had one before, so maybe that's why) She almost reminds me of a Buckeye from the back, though a picture of the face and comb would be a help.
#5. Silver Laced Wyandotte pullet

After googling Russian Orloff and looking at images I don't think I have one even though that is what my receipt says. Will try to get a picture of her face and comb soon. Thanks.
 
Blue Wyandotte, Silver Laced Wyandotte, Silver Leghorn are pullets. Buff Orpington is a cockerel. I agree the red pullet looks like a Buckeye "need a face pic to confirm", she's definintly not a Russian Orloff. I raise both Buckeyes and Spangled Russian Orloffs.
 
You're right on all the breeds except the Orloff; she is either a Production Red (which will have a single comb) or possibly a Buckeye (those show a pea comb). I can't see see her comb from this angle. Everybody's female except the Buff Orp.
