I had posted a while back about my 4 mystery chicks from our local feed store & they all looked like mutts back then. Which still probably the case, but I thought I would post some new pics of them to see if anyone had a change of insight on their breed or gender. Thanks in advance!!

These 3 don't crow... so, pullets?!

"Thing 1" (She/he doesn't like having it's picture taken!)

Now here's "Foghorn Leghorn"- He crows & is now mounting our EE hens... So what breed could he be?

Not too sure but the first pic of your white roo looks like it may have a bit of a beard there. Could it be an EE? I'm just now getting where I can spot the occasional breed and none of these look like Orpingtons

All look like EE's. I am also in Okee and those bird are most likely from Ideal Hatchery. They famous for their EE's with yellow legs. Most, if not all of our feed stores get their chicks from there. Welcome to BYC from an Okee.

That's what I was thinking, some sort of EE mix. I bought them from Walpole feed & they said they got them from a little girl locally who breeds... && Hi to a fellow Okeechobian!
 
Definitely not Barred Rock or Leghorn, as neither breeds are bearded.

Looks to me like a bunch of EE mixes. All are boys but Thing 1 could be a girl.
