Leghorn
Reviewed by Chicken Goddess

Leghorns are great egg laying chickens. They are friendly to other Leghorns and can easily fly. The only problems is that they are bad in the pecking order and they can make a mess of the yard....

I will start by saying that I love Australorps. In fact, my very favorite hen is an Australorp. She is such a sweet chicken and just let's you walk right up to her to pick her up. She doesn't run...

I have 5 chickens, one rooster and 4 hens. I don't know the breed of any of them. (Sorry)

My sister, got them for me as a surprise, She didn't ask the breeder what breed, any of them are. ><

I have a clue to some of them. I was thinking that the rooster was a Welsummer, and that the brown hen was a rhode island red. not sure though.

I have two hens that are the same breed. one of them is sitting on eggs, so I didn't want to take Her out just for a picture.

Here are the pictures.

This is the hen that i think is a rhode island red ^

This Pictures is blurry, (sorry) ^

Maybe a Australorp? I think she's a little too small. ^

I know identify Chicken breeds can be hard, I know I'm bad at it. I spent hours online looking up breeds, to see if any look similar. I know it's kind of ridiculous for asking. but Thank you any way.

Thanks for helping out~!

#1 could be a Welsummer, or Rhode Island Red

#2 looks just like my Rhode Island Red hens

#3 looks like some kind of game hen to me

#4 Not really sure

I'm still very new to chickens, but I figured you could use a bump. I hope others can help identify better. Also it would be a lot easier if you could get a hold of the person your sister got them from.
