My husband and I are new to the chicken world and we are unsure about what kind of breeds we have so far. Here are some pictures of our roosters and hens. We believe that most of the roosters are Dominque but not sure if any are Barred Rock's. And not sure about the white or red hen.

Roosters:
400




Hens:


 
I can't see that well on some of them but your darker roosters are mixed, part barred part non-barred. The lighter roo could be pure Dom. Your red hen looks like a generic red hatchery bird--production red, etc. The white hen looks like a mixed breed. The dark legs and funky looking comb point to mixed breeding. The barred hen could be a pure Dom, if she has a straight comb she'll be a barred rock instead.

~black tailed white looks like a game maybe (i have seen one like that but dont remember the breed and the comb is flopped like a leghorns would be)
~dom

i dont really see any mixes except the blk sex links which require a barred hen and a non-barred rooster such as a rir or leghorn
 
X2 on roosters being Dominique. I also think hen #3 is a Dominique due to her rose comb. I'm guessing hen #2 is a Delaware and hen #1 is a New Hampshire.

I hope your planning on only keeping 1 rooster with your 3 hens or getting more hens. Your poor hens will be terrorized by three adult roos.

Don't hatchery Black Sex-links all have single combs?
Those roos might just have poor coloration.
