Rescue Chicken.....what am I?

[M.sue]

This fall I got a so called rescue flock of 6 hens from a very young guy who I think got in over his head with his chicken project. He had chickens all over the place, different ages, different breeds & some obliviously mixed. Looked to me like the breeding/hatching got out of control. Well 1 of the 6 I know for sure is a Roo. Now as I look at this other one here pictured below, it has me thinking....What mixed breed r u and you better not be a rooster too! Opinions greatly appreciated.

Well that makes 2 Roo out of the supposedly 6 hens. I specifically asked for hens.....and to make things even better there is one more that is questionable! I have to laugh at this because if anyone could of seen the place....chickens everywhere!! I'd pick one out and by the time the guy caught it was to tell if it was the right one...lol My first instinct was say NO politely, get back into the truck & go! Kind hearted me wanted to help the young man and the chickens!! O'well it happens.

Some generic red rooster.
I'm pretty sure the other red bird in the first pic is a roo also, and the silver laced bird partially in the first pic is also a rooster.

Yes, generic Rooster...lol The other red was the next questionable. The silver laced definitely was noticeable right off the bat...my 12 yr.old even said.....That one is a rooster! I'd say I'm fairly green to this chicken stuff even though I was raised being around them my whole childhood. I had my suspessions early on...the fearthers, the size, wattle, the dominating play, etc. Guess I was just trying to say no, that couldn't be....They are just some goofy mixed breed.
Thanks guys....I appreciate your input!! My neighbors are really gonna love me now! They already despised the little bantam Roo I have.

Looks like a Rhode Island Red rooster to me.

I agree.

Defiantly a rooster. Some type of Rhode Island Red cross. He's very pretty though!
