Help, what is she?

Is anyone good at telling the breed of a chicken? My dad recently hopped on board with my fascination of chickens.  After I would not give him any of mine he got 2 of his own but the guy he got them from has no idea what they are. http://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/111833_dads.jpg

Thanks!

Looks like a brown Leghorn and a hatchery Rhode Island red.

The one with the gold on the neck looks to be a Welsummer and the other red one is a RIR..... smile

I am a chicken fanatic!

    I love them all!

Along  with any animal!

 

I have stopped trying to post all my chickens on here because I have now come to the point where I have to many to post!!

 

Anyways, I have Serama eggs for sale. (Limited Availablility.)

I think that bird is not heavy enough to be a welsummer. Also, I don't think welsummers have white earlobes...I think it is a brown leghorn.

Brown Leghorn and RIR

I have a husband, two young children, two dogs: Miri and Mara, a red beta fish named Blue, three EE's: Friendly, Brunhilda, and Muffy, one Buff Orp: Fluffy Miss Bianca, one RIR: Nugget, one White Leghorn: Miss Legs, and one Golden Sexlink: Miss Sexy. Just added this spring: 1 Barred Rock, 1 Black Sexlink, 1 EE, and 2 Black Australorps (not yet named)

Thank you so much for all of your help!!! I do believe that it is a Brown Leghorn because of the white earloboes.  Are the brown Leghorns rare?  I have never seen them in any of my feed stores around town. Thanks again so much for everyone's input!!!
