What breed and gender? (UPDATED WITH CURRENT PICS -- YET AGAIN!)

THanks! I think Bluey is gorgeous too, and I hope that if he is a Roo, he doesn't follow in our last Roo's footsteps. Stewy came to a bad end, because he was a flogger. I am off to check out the differences between a blue and lavendar Orp.
 
He's to dark to be lavender. I think one of your reds might be a roo, too. Can't tell about the polish, can you get a pic of the comb with the fluff out of the way? Does one of your red's have blue on it's wings? I think they are crosses.
 
I don't see any blue on the reds. They do have some white and slight barring on wing feathers. They were sold as Rhode Island Red eggs, and I realize that that may mean Production Red. However, since one of the RIR eggs hatched Bluey, who knows what the others are!?! Good thing they are so cute!

I will get better pics of the Polish. That is one cute chick, but I don't think I can let it out to free range with the other chickens when it grows up. It can't see me standing over it with that crest, and it is a cry baby too. I think I will look for a couple of other Polish to keep it company in a safe-from-predators coop.
 
Some people trim back the feathers, there's that chicken math kicking in......

The blue one looks a lot like my blue Andalusian but it seems like it has a blockier body than he does. My female just started laying so mine are like 20-24 weeks I think. Maybe yours is older? Also mine seem to have slight lacing on the feather ends--does yours? Terri O
 
Bluey does seem to have slight lacing. I think it is part of what makes him so pretty. When I looked at Blue Andalusian photos, I felt like he is chunkier too, although I also felt like his front looked similar. He is about 10 weeks old.
 
The blue one... what color are the feet/legs? They look greenish. That would rule out a number of purebreds... possibly a mix of a breed that has blue/slate legs and a breed that has yellow legs, thus resulting in a greenish color.
