Hi!! Your chicks are the creme de la creme. I hope to have some of your babies soon! Thanks for answering my questions.
Question for you: what color are the chickens in the first picture that look buff/gold with black tail feathers? I'm drooling!! Gorgeous birds!

Thank you! They are definitely yard candy

.

The first picture is Buff Delaware Orpingtons. Below is the lighter version and the Buff Del rooster.
Still considered a project color but are absolutely stunning.

Thanks. It's soooo smoky here from multiple fires around us, but as soon as we have a clear sunny day I need to get more (better) pictures of them. The roo has filled out a lot since then and is so pretty

Ok. I want to pretend this chick is a pullet. Chick has a round and full body shape like a hen and piles up with the others during the day. Doesn't spar or come running to noise, etc. Chick is actually pretty flighty and very tough to catch.
Supposed to be a lemon cuckoo but I don't see any obvious barring.
Anyway chick's face sure does look rooster like but not nearly as obvious as her rooster hatchmate.
I believe the chick is only 8-10 weeks old. Tell me... any chance this id a pullet?

Sure looks roo to me :-(
