I hatched these babies from some eggs given to me. They are about 7 weeks old. Can anyone tell me their breed or sex?

The buff one is a frizzle Show girl. The barred one is probably a Silkie/Cochin cross. Can't really tell with the one in back. Better pictures could help.

The showgirl has smooth feathers rather than silkied feathers.

I think I might know two of them. The orange one’s breed I believe is a Fizzled Showgirl, I’m not 100% sure. The striped one looks like a Barred Rock to me. And for the brown one, I’m unsure. Those 3 are stunning birds though! ☺️
 
Thank you. They are so friendly!!! I'm trying to add a picture of the smallest one that might make it more identifiable. Also, would you guess the sex?

You’re welcome! For that little brown one, that one looks like a Golden Cuckoo Maran to me! That’s what I think the breed on that one is. For the genders on all three, I am unsure, but they do look like all females. I don’t really see anything rooster like on them.

Barred rocks don't have feathered legs

I had no idea on the two but had researched the one with no feathers on it's neck. What rooster would I need to carry on this look?

A naked neck male carrying 2 naked neck genes for 100% naked chicks or a naked neck male with 1 gene or a regular male for 50% naked chicks out of a clutch
