I am just got 6 new girls and I'm wondering if you can help me out!  A mean raccoon killed my ENTIRE flock (turkens, blue cochins, aracaunas, bramas and wyandottes......  I'm still in shock and mourning and have yet to catch the critter sad  But I will wink

I think this is a.....?http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/106887_well.jpg  Wellsummer?

i'm not sure about the first one being a welsummer, her legs should be yellow and her coloring is a little off. does she have a single comb or not?
the second is a red sexlink, or golden comet.
the third is a partridge rock.

First one I'm not sure on.. Welsummer is possible though.
Second is a Red Sexlink (Red Star, Golden Comet, Cinnamom Queen, ISA Brown, all the same thing).
Third I'm thinking more Barnevelder than Partridge Rock ...

The pictures aren't that great, but I pulled up partrage rock and it looks just like the top chicken which I thought may be a wellsummer.  That last chicken's picture doesn't do her justice.  Her head and feathers are shiny black with tinges of green and her mottling is a spectacular bright copper, she is stunning compared to the more bland first picture!  The picture of a barnevelder looks just like her....

1 looks pretty spot on for a hatchery quality Welsummer
2 Im not sure of but most likely Red Sexlink
3 Looks to be some sort of Barnevelder

Murphismo:

I'm so sorry for the loss of your flock and aren't sure about the breeds--first one guess easter egger, but has yellow legs, one a red sexlink, the other one. . .beautiful feathers. . .no clue.  I hope that you have a secure coop to lock your new girls up at night until you can get rid of the raccoon.  Please remember that chicken wire is only to keep chicks in. . .chicken wire is not strong enough to keep varmits out.  Good luck with your new girls!

Pretty sure #3 is NOT a partridge rock. I'm raising two right now and from both my experience and what I've seen in other people's pictures, their heads are lighter than the body, not darker.

The remaining 6 of my original 7 barred rocks are 3yrs old and happily divided between a friend and my mom.
Laying: 2 Partridge Rocks, 1 Columbian Wyandotte and 2 Black Australorps. 14 weeks: 3 bantam Araucana.
Cowed to chicken math and sharing my bedroom with 8 BBS Ameraucana mixes.
