Could they be Jersey Giants? I have 2 now that are 7 weeks old and they look just like that. My 9 week old "pullet"  BA has a large comb and a touch of white on her tail feathers. Greenish tint to feathers, as do the Giants. Hatchery quality girls but beautiful!

These are a couple of my BA's when they were about 3 months old.

I am a wife (18 years) a Mama (of my son Coy) and a rural mail carrier for USPS.  I have 3 kittens (Bo, Luke and Daisy) and 17 hens and 6 baby chicks.

I agree with Dan, those 2 with the brown feathers on the breast are sex-links. But they will be gorgeous.

I'm thinking now that they are Sumatra's. The bottoms of their feet are yellow. The little ladies also like to fly and jump on things (especially me). I've read that Sumatra's are skittish, but mine are so sweet and friendly. They don't mind being petted or picked up. They are also a lot smaller than the other pullets I have that are the same age. Doesn't really matter to me what they are. They will be loved. smile
