What breed AND gender is this?

Yet another thread revive- this one is looking suspicious still. It's the only one with a tattered tail. And slightly more red than the other 2.

Sibling for comparison. Slightly less red and less waddles.

If they were three months old when you got them, they would be four months old now. At four months, I think that is a female. The redder comb would mean "she" is making progress toward maturity and egg laying age.

If the age was wrong, they are still a month older than they were before, so I think it is probably female in that case too. I would have expected a male to change more in a month, based on where they started.

(Of course I could be wrong.)
 
Look like buff orpingtons to me, all female, I'm usually good at this sort of thing but I could be wrong. I reckkon thats what they are though
Buff Orpingtons are supposed to have white feet, and I see some yellow feet in the pictures. So I think they are more likely to be some other kind of buff chickens, unless they are poor quality "Buff Orpingtons" that have some crossing in the recent past. That kind of thing can happen from hatcheries that aren't too picky about the appearance of their breeding flocks.

OK Thanks.
 
Yes, they're all yellow legged. And have some remnants of black feathers in the tail and almost white feathers in the wing.

I'm almost certain they came from tractor supply. I don't know the quality of birds they get their stock from, but my best guess is these gals aren't top tier bufforps. They're still lovely and friendly though.
