So my kids talked me into a huge "barn yard mix" from the flea market. So here i am now addicted to chickens. Since this was a mix... I do not know the breed or gender of any of these. I posted photos of a few of them in hopes of at least getting a general idea and possibly breed. Any guesses or ideas on breed or gender would be awesome. (And yes I know its too early pretty much.. but I figured I'd ask anyways). There was 11 in the barn yard mix but I posted photos of some of the ones I have most recent photos of.

Also black photo i know is a rooster of an unknown age. Im just curious what kind of frizzle he is.

Since you did get a barn yard mix, that generally means the chickens are mixed breed, and will only look similar to whatever breed they resemble best. When they are full grow it will be easier to categorize them.
There is also nothing wrong with mix breed chickens. They lay eggs like other chickens.
When you get specific breed of chickens, those may lay many eggs, and live shorter liver. Lay a particular size, or color. Lay for many years, but not many eggs yearly. Or be meat chickens that grow quickly, and live very short lives.
In a barnyard mix, you may end up with assortment of these characteristics in your flock.
Beautiful chickens, so enjoy having them.

WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and :welcome

Do you have updated pictures!?
There are a couple updated photos of a few of them. None really look like each other at all. Some have feathered feet, 5 toes, fluffy heads, 1 frizzle and looks like 2 silkies. Honestly the best random mix because they pretty much all looked the same as babies lol

Looks like you have some silkie mixes and Easter egger mixes. The rooster is a polish mix.
