Don't see anything that would suggest Australorp, but it does look like a silkie mix.

Americana is the word they use! It's unfortunately meant to trick people, it's a purposeful misspelling of Ameraucana. Americana = Easter Egger or EE for short as you'll see many people use :D

Yes these are your boys! :D and from TSC they're not technically mutts/mixed breeds but they would be called Easter Eggers (bred to resemble ameraucana but much more common, non standard colors and bigger range of egg colors)

This looks like an old English game bantam! I think the color is called brassy?

Cockerel, more photos may help with breed but coming from an auction house they may just be mixed breeds

#1 just looks like a backyard bantam to me, where did you get the roosters from? #2 it's not a great photo but I'm going to say Cochin based on body shape? #3 assuming he is as small as he looks I'd guess old English game bantam mix or just barnyard bantam #4 based on comb I'd guess Easter...

Maybe they're just feathering in slowly? I will try giving him a few more weeks to see if maybe they just have a small beard. There's always going to be a little bit of variation with genetics, fingers crossed you weren't scammed or anything, pretty birds!

It's impossible to know without knowing the possible adults from the parent stock

Wing feathering isn't always accurate, and looking at feathers alone at this age isn't usually accurate either. The hackle and saddle feathers will come later, the large red comb and wattles indicate it's a cockerel, sorry.

You got him from TSC from a bin labeled Wyandotte and another breed but you're not sure what the other was, correct? I don't think lavender Wyandottes are very common but I'm unsure what hatchery the TSC near you would be supplied from!

Then it's pretty much just a silkie mix! If you know he's part silkie, the other part could be a lot of different things!

Just a mixed breed then :)

It's got female coloring, if you're still concerned in a few weeks post her again :D

Yes males, where did you get them? They appear a bit big and the wrong shape to be japanese bantams

At the very least the black one appears to be a cockerel, more pictures would be helpful!
