New pullets, but what kind?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

Howdy all! It's springtime again and we are proud parents of 10 new pullets!! The feed store had an overload of these poor baby's so they were not sure what breeds they were. The black ones I found out on my own are barred rocks but the white and white/black mix I'm not sure of. These are not the best pictures I could get but I'm hoping someone out there can catch a glimpse of what these pretty lil ladies might be! Thank you to all!DSCN1826.JPG

I don't know what the white ones are, I've never had a white chicken :)  But I think that the black/white one might be a mottled java.

white ones might be white leghorns,,, and white with black might be mottled anconas or exqhuedor leghorn (spellcheck)

The white one in the front with it's big breasts looks like a Cornish X.  Did they say they had any meat birds?

Meat birds were not mentioned other than they were females! We already own a white rock hen but these lil ones look so different from her.

Thank you all so much! I've already began my research on the above breeds mentioned and it's a greater start than what I had to work with. That is the only thing about our local feed store is that they don't know what they are ordering (most likely assortments) but they did look adorable and no doubt needed a good home!
