Ur middle white one is a roo I think and ur bottom maybe a pullet. Idk but that’s my guess

The 2 brown ones look like Welsummers to me. Pullets. Not sure about the white one.

No Welsummers, no males.

All are gamefowl pullets of some sort.

 

[Egg Snatcher]

Game fowl, all pullets

Correct. All game hens. Hardy birds. Great mothers, very broody.

Agreed.

Thank you everyone! I’ve been spending the day looking up different chickens and had no luck. Make sense why. I’ll need to read and learn about game fowl. This is my first set of ladies.

Before them, I got six chicks, straight run and I believe theyre six roosters, pictured below. Please tell me I’m wrong? I was told they are Easter eggers, An olive egger, a black copper maran, and A lavender orpington. Not so sure if this is true. Don’t see the lavender Orpington. I do see Easter eggers. Two are way larger then the rest, with the brighter orange necks, so maybe it was mixed with an Orpington?

Will they be able to breed with the game hen? My hope is to have eggs for eating and for raising chicks.

Last comment, anyone have luck raising six roosters together? I plan to place one With the three hens and the others in another coop of their own.

I have. Once they figure out their pecking order they do good with each other. They should be able to breed the game hens.
