Are the pellets layer, or an all flock?

We are all here to learn.

Layer. No problem on the questions. I am learning so much from this conversation! I appreciate it.

Poppy’s luck includes: Loudest, constant crowing roosters, derpy breeds, weird chickens that stalk eachother.

Layer isn't good for roosters. It causes long term kidney damage if fed as a main diet.

That's good to know. I will remember that.

I have included an image of each. I've had them for a week or so. Two of them will crow like crazy, the other one I have never heard more than a cackle from. I assumed it was a hen. The first image of the "red" one was attacked by the other two before we got them. Since we have increased their area a lot, they don't bully it, anymore and the damaged part on the back of its head is healing quickly. The white one with the larger comb also crows. The last image with the flatter comb, I think, is a hen. They are all beautiful birds.
