Heres a photo of a rooster/cockerel hatched easter day. Guessing a BR but interested in others input as to wherther or not he is full or mixed(most likely) has bright yellow legs and and a decent comb but has iridescence in the black of his feathers and incomplete barring as well as a lot of white from the neck up.

Then a pullet or and rooster close to laying age from february. Theyre likely mixed Barnyard mix but im curious the guess on egg colors for the hen. She came from the green egg in my first ever hatch. And the rooster is all white with some foot feathering. Mostly a cool dude for the time being.

The rooster is a mix-- barred rock is likely in his ancestry.

The blue hen could lay any color. It's tough to guess without knowing the exact parents. But since she was from a green egg, there's a good shot at her laying green eggs, too.

The white birds look like Sultans and Sultan crosses.

Thanks Jed. The large white rooster(pic 3 with mix BR too) is unrelated to the smaller birds. The sultans must be silkie cross then. Ive got some with yellow/light legs. Some with black skin and 5 toes. So silkie is somewhere but back yard muty is what I presume.
