Swedish flower and orp still look like roos. Cockerels and pullets both get spur bumps. The last chicken is definitely a pullet, probably some sort of “designer” Easter egger cross.Okay so the little Polish guy was crowing today right in front of me. He was also having a standoff with the Buff Orpington rooster and little guy won, lol.
Here are some close ups of one of the Swedish Flower chickens. Is this a spur developing? Rooster neck feathers?

Does the Lavender Orpington look like a rooster with this close up picture? I cant tell by the neck feathers if they are pointy or not.

Also, what type of chicken is this and is it a rooster too?

Okay I'm getting nervous with all these roosters. I want to keep them all but probably not feasible. Heres a better picture, I think it looks like a Partridge Pendesca chicken....? Its very small, half the size of the others. Similar in size to the little polish.Swedish flower and orp still look like roos. Cockerels and pullets both get spur bumps.

This is a pullet. Not sure on the breed. You can try to keep all of the boys but wont be able to keep them all with the hens. 1 rooster per 10 hens is a good ratio. Ice seen people here keep extra boys separated in a bachelor pad.Okay I'm getting nervous with all these roosters. I want to keep them all but probably not feasible.

Actually, I think you’re right about her being a penedesenca. I thought the leg color was wrong, but I looked at some more pictures of penedesencas and the leg color seems to be mostly correct.Okay I'm getting nervous with all these roosters.

Oh, and here’s an article about rooster-only flocks, also known as bachelor pads: https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/rooster-flocks.72998/.Actually, I think you’re right about her being a penedesenca.

Oh sweet. So they dont eat each other alive because there are no ladies to impress? We free range so I dont know how we would do 2 separate coops.I had a bachelor pad for a summer, it worked really well.
