Students need help identifying our chickens

[Cluckle]

Greetings, I have an Ag class that hatched and is raising a surprise batch of chickens we purchased from an Etsy hobby farm seller. They are a week from being 6 months old. Can you help us identify breeds and if some of these are roos? The second picture is tan and white speckled (it's somewhat hard to see in the photo). I think the 3rd one is a roo. The 4th white one I'm not sure about. I have no idea about breeds. Also, 3 are laying eggs. I have an olive egg, a light tan egg, and white egg.

How old are they? The only ones I'll guess on are the red ones, the first is definitely a cockerel (young rooster), but I'm not sure about the breed. The second red one looks like a Rhode Island Red pullet (young hen).

All look very beautiful and healthy, the kids (and you, I'm sure) have done an excellent job.

They are almost 6 months old. I will update their age in the post. Thank you!

1 and 4 are white leghorns and I think both are pullets, 2 is a buff orpington pullet and 3 and 5 might be production reds of some sort and 3 is a cockerel

The first one looks like a WLH mix (cant be pure because it doesn't have a single comb and has a much more 'plump' build.) 4 is a pure white leghorn. 5 looks like a production/NH/RI red. Others are mixes that I can't identify.

Are you sure about 1? That comb is not what I’m used to seeing on Leghorns

saw you were getting olive eggs, in that case 5 is an easter egger likely from hoover hatchery (3 might be too but given cockerels don't lay eggs there's no telling)

Hmm, 1 doesn't have a single comb, looks like walnut comb, but I can't really tell from the angle of the picture. I thought leghorns only had single combs. Still learning, which is why I opted out of commenting in the other ones.

Good point, not sure about that one then (thought the comb was just flopped over)

Do White Rocks have a walnut comb? They lay tan eggs if I remember correctly.
