What breed of rooster do I have?

[sunnshine78]

My daughter got 2 chicks from her Agriculture class in school. They are now 5 months old and was suppose to be both hens. Needless to say, one is a rooster and Im trying to give him away so I need to know what breed he is. She also got 4 more chicks that are 2 and a half months old and we believe that 3 are roosters, none are crowing yet but how do I know for sure that they are roosters. We think the lightest color one is the hen. Sorry its a bad pic.

Greetings from Kansas, sunnshine78, and

! Happy you joined us! I think your rooster is some sort of mix but I'm not the person to ask. Post the pic in the link below - someone in the What Breed/Gender Is This thread will have more informed opinions. Good luck to you!

Welcome to BYC. Rooster is a crossbred and at least two of the chicks are cockerels - can't get a good idea on the chick looking away in the picture.

Thank you all for the "welcome"! Im here in south west Arkansas and new to this site and raising chickens. Ive had chicks for 5 months now and had a big let down when Ive noticed that 4 out of my 6 chickens are roosters. And now I can't seem to evn give them away. I hate feeding something that has no use to me...we just wanted fresh eggs.
