Hi, I bought 3 chicks in March and don't know what breed they are. Can anyone help?
In the pictures they are the white rooster slighlty tinged with orange, the reddish pullet with a black tail and the brown pullet with the dark green tail. Also shown are a couple of my isa browns.

Thanks

The white bird appears to be a Leghorn cockerel, the red bird is a Rhode Island Red cockerel, and the brown pullet may be a New Hampshire.
 
Thanks! The leghorn's crowing and mounting the girls and has a large comb and wattle so knew he was a cockerel.

Finding out I've a second cockerel is a slight shock. Initially I'd suspected this because he's bigger than the rest of the girls, but his comb developed at the same rate as the new hamp and he's not crowing or interested in the girls like the Leghorn!

He's a great looking bird with a pleasant demeanour, but dunno if the small flock or me could cope with 2 guys ..a tough decision lies ahead :(
