Breed help? (Update at 11.5 weeks)

Our take

Hello, feathered friends enthusiasts! It's your favorite chicken aficionado back with an update at 11.5 weeks! After some clucky suspicions, I’m excited to share that I’m pretty sure we’ve got all pullets—yay! However, I’m still scratching my head over the gold laced Wyandotte. I’d love to hear your opinions and insights! I’ve attached updated photos for your viewing pleasure. Our delightful flock includes Barred Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, Brown Leghorns, Rhode Island Reds, and possibly a Welsummer. Oh, and let’s not forget the three Easter Egger/Olive Egger types! Our experience with Valley Hatchery has been egg-cellent, even with those surprise bonus chicks. Just remember, chicken math is real—I had to upgrade my coop before they even arrived!

Hi friends! Me again, so some suspicions have been put to rest, but curious to hear some opinions! Ordered these "girls" from valley hatchery late February, and fairly certain we have all pullets (yay!) The gold laced wyandotte is suspicious to me, but curious to thoughts.

Updated photos are attached, but my thoughts are barred rock, buff orpington, brown leghorn, rhode island red, gold laced wyandotte (pullet or cockeral confirm?), Welsummer????, and 3 easter egger/olive egger types.

We ordered 6 "rainbow egg layer special" chicks from Valley hatchery and honestly had a really great experience in spite of getting three bonus chicks and having to completely upgrade our homestead set-up 😅 (also bought a much larger coop because chicken math taking effect before receiving our birds was the surprise)!
