Victimized by tractor supply Hen vs Roo and a ?

[JoHens]

I like many others have officially been victimized by tractor supply lol. Out of my chicks that were all pulled from pullet only containers I have a few that are questionable. I also have a little grey chicken that was supposed to be a lavender Orpington…. She’s definitely lavender/grey. But to me is not looking like an Orpington so if anyone can breed ID her it would be very appreciated. Including pics of two buff Orpingtons and two wyandottes. One Orpington is definitely a hen. The other has either matured way faster or is in fact a roo. The wyandottes were supposedly blue laced gold Wyandotte pullets…. They look completely different from each other and are both questionably Roos. Please help.

Second Orpington looks like a cockerel. The blue has white earlobes, at least that's what I see, so maybe an Andalusian, or one of their mixes they sell. I think the dark Wyandotte is a pullet, but not positive.

1 buff Orpington female

2 buff Orpington male

3 blue laced red Wyandotte male

4 maybe a splash Andalusian or some type of hybrid. Female.

5 black lace3d red Wyandotte male.

The blue one looks splash and probably an Andalusian or mix

The Andalusian mix guesses are probably correct. I believe it's a Sapphire Gem pullet. We raised 7 Sapphire Gem pullets last year (still in our flock today) and that one reminds me a lot of my girls when they were that age.

She’s been a completely light grey chick from day one. Which has been the hardest thing to find. Most of the other chicks I’ve seen all have yellow or start out kind of black.

I like how you put it. Victimized by tractor supply. So many i believe are. I too bought from the pullet bins and ended up with 4 roosters out of 7 chicks. Your birds are very pretty though.

This is why I adopt full-grown older chickens who you can tell are male or female

We did that once and he introduced chicken lice into my flock which was previously disease/pest-free. So, while I'm very happy with him now that he's integrated and we treated our entire flock and coop area, and he's protected our girls quite well, I will opt to avoid bringing in any poultry that is NOT day-old. It could have been worse than just a case of lice. It could have been Mareks or some other awful disease.
