1 and 2- Black Sexlinks

3- Buff Orpington, if it has white legs.

4- I don't know, its comb looks funny to me. Is it the same as the other 3, just bigger? Or is it different, like a rose or pea comb?

Bsl
Bo

Thank you. Yes #4, aka Red, has a comb similar to the others, just larger. He is more aggressive and was later to feather out so we are assuming a BO roo, but we could be wrong again.

Do BSL's typically have that much brown on their necks? I am assuming that these would both be BSL hens then correct?

#4 is a roo

Yes, your sexlinks are hens, and they do normally have red on their necks and backs.

Thanks for the help. I guess that Bert & Ernie need new names, lol. Well actually Ernie (the darker one on the left in the first pic) had an unfortinate accident last night and broke her leg, so hopefully she can heal

I agree with everything they said above--

This is what your BSL will look like grown-- wonderful birds and the BO's as well--
