What breed is this?

[Four chicken mom]

Hi Everyone, I am super new to chicken raising. Can someone tell me if the white chickens are Leghorns. Also, what breed is the dark chickens? Dom’s or Plymouth rocks and are both of the dark chickens males? It appears they are both male but one has light legs and a lighter face. The dark legged and darker face has started crowing. They are all about 10 weeks. Thank you in advance!

The barred birds look like dominiques, yes. My guess for the white birds would be maybe white plymouth rocks, given their silhouette and comb size does not at all indicate that they're leghorns. White orpington is the other that comes to mind based on shape, as your birds aren't closely feathered in the way I'd expect from a rock.

White look like white Plymouth rocks. They have yelllow legs. Hardto tell earlobe color yet.
The barred birds are Dominiques and they are both male.

I am just wondering...is there a difference between Amberlinks and White Plymouth rocks?

And yes, I agree with the others. The barred birds are males and dominiques.

Yes there is a difference. White Rocks are purebred chickens while Amberlinks are hybrids. Amberlinks normally have some brown or amber colored feathers in their hackles. Otherwise they do look very similar.

Thank you all very much!! I just wasn’t sure what I had other than I was pretty sure I had two roosters! Not sure how I got two but I know I won’t be buying from TSC ever again! Now I just hope my Roos remain good boys otherwise I may have to rehome one.

The Barred Rocks are Dominiques, and they are both males. They are really beautiful, though!
