Roo or pullet? Age range 6 to 7 weeks

[Strowbridge]

Where did these birds come from?

They came from a small animal sale that is local to me

2, 4, 12, and 13 are cockerels, in my opinion. 7 may be one, too, but too early to say for sure. The rest look like pullets, so far.

I agree.

That complicates it a lot. At those sales there are is a whole variety of sources of birds so they could be mixes or could be decently rare breeds. I personally have sent cockerels who were rose comb RIRs, Rhodebars, Barred Rock Bantams, Golden Cuckoo Marans along with other breeds from show lines years back (2014-ish) before some of them became more common. People probably saw them and thought they were mixes when in reality most were breeder quality at least. To be fair, I've also sent a Silkie mix to one of these so you really don't know what you're going to get or the original sources! I would wait until they mature quite a bit so that earlobe color is evident and egg color is also going to be a deciding factor

Thank you! On the boxes they came in the following breeds were listed
Golden laced wyandotte
Red blue laced wyandotte
Silver laced wyandotte
Maran
Easter egger
And lavender Orpington (which I have two of for sure that I'm keeping so I did not post those on here)

Okay that helps a bit! If we're listening to the box, than the varieties of Marans I'm seeing is blue birchen, birchen, blue, and splash. Make sure all "Marans" have white skin. There is so much variety in Easter Eggers lately that I wouldn't rule it out for many of them yet although I'm not seeing the usual barring/partridge color/crests of the Legbar-derived ones or the pea comb/muffs/beard of the South American breed ones. The columbian one who is mixed in is still likely a Light Sussex (get leg pics!) The one Blue Wyandotte too was not listed as a variety on the box, but was mixed in as well

Thank you so much! I'll try to get some updated pics on a few later this week

okay so the first white one pictured would be #7 in original post, can you tell me what breed it is? I know for sure it's a roo.
The 2nd picture is a pullet, same breed as #7??

The last picture is a better picture of #12 in original post. Roo or pullet? Breed?
