rooster or hen and a couple breed questions

[beepbeepinajeep]

Pretty sure this is a roo, what do you think? No crowing, but seems roosterish. Mixed breed... maybe dominicker and something else?

Bantam cochin... thinking pullet? I love the coloring!

This is a hen, but wondering the breed. I was told Old English Game. It almost looks like her tail feathers were clipped (didn't notice at first... just now that they are growing in) could they have done that for breeding purposes?

TIA!

The first pic looks like a barred rock roo. The next one looks like a pullet but not sure what breed or mix, and I have no clue about the last one.

The one thought to be a game hen lays an almost large sized tinted egg... looks more pink than brown. Her feathers are black unless they are in the sun & then they look green (beetle, right?).

For the roo, I know that there was a Dominicker roo at the farm where I got the hatching eggs. I am not sure what kind of hen he is from. Does he look more like a mix or more like a pure dominique?

Thanks

I don't think the last is a game hen the legs seem to short, and the body too stocky. All my game hens are lean and muscular with long or med length legs. One trait that is apparent with OEG is the upright tail that does not appear to be seen in the pic. She looks like a BSL to me. The first pic depending on the age does look like my barred rock roos at a young age. The combs filled out quickly when the reached maturity. I would not swear that was a pea comb from the pick.
