What breed do you think these roosters are?

[Jfrk4ever]

I got these roosters from a friend who hatched a dozen 4H eggs. Not sure what breeds they are except that they are gorgeous!! These roosters are 17 weeks old and crowing away!! 2 of them have what looks like the beginning of feathers growing on their legs. Any thoughts/ideas?















?

3rd & 4th photo looks like a Cochin mix. At 1st glance they all looked mixed to me. I particularly liked the rooster in pics 1&2. He's a keeper!

They are all soo pretty!! Unfortunately, we will have to get rid of 2 of them as that is just too much crowing for our small in-town flock and our neighbor's. I was wondering if possibly a Welsummer mix, possibly?

1 roo crowing is enough isn't it. I have 3 currently but only one crows. I am not familiar with Welsummer roos. Although I have had 5 Brown Leghorn roos this year (I assume that the BL and the Weslsummer are similar in feather coloring) I don't see that same coloring. I really don't know. Hopefully someone can narrow it down for Ya.

Okay, I am sorry, but I have racked my brain -- what are "BCM mixes", Pandapaws23??

Black cooper marans is what BCM stands for.

Your welcome, sometimes the abbreviations can be confusing at first.
