Hello, I just recently joined and thought this would be a good place to get some help with identifying my chicken breeds. I know most of them but there are still a few that I'm not sure of. Thanks in advance!


Our new rooster. Unsure of his breed.
I have also noticed with him that he hops when he walks. Doesn't walk like a normal chicken. Any ideas what this could be from?
Could he have pain in his feet or legs?



One of our Black Australorps hens. We have 6 of them.



Our Barred Rock hen.


Unsure of her breed. She is the only "golden" chicken we have.


Unsure of her breed. She lays all of her eggs in this one spot, so this was the only photo I was able to get of her at the time. I thought she was a Leghorn, but we have had Leghorns previously and they were much bigger & stockier. She is slim.

- We also have 6 Red Sex Link hens, but I forgot to take a photo of one of them.

Other birds we have:
1 Indian Runner Duck (male) & 5 other ducks (can't remember their breed)
2
Standard Bronze
Turkeys (Male & female)
2 Embden Geese (Male & Female)

Speckled Sussex rooster.



Not a Barred Rock-- she looks like a mixed breed.

Our Barred Rock hen.

Buff Orpington.

Probably a White Plymouth Rock. What color eggs does she lay?
 
All of our chickens lay brown eggs. The only white eggs we get are from the goose and ducks. Thank you for correcting me about the Barred Rock. That is what we were told she was but I wasn't sure after I looked up photos of that breed. :)

Yep, I agree with Wyandottes7, your white chicken is a White Rock (they lay brown eggs and have red ear lobes unlike Leghorns). :)
 
The rooster is a Speckled Sussex. The grey and white hen is a mixed breed. She seems to have a bit of lavender color to her feathers. The golden hen is a Buff Orpington, and the white one is possibly a white rock or white leghorn.
You have a very lovely flock.
