new to BYC, what breeds do I have?

[Rounsville83]

My wife and mother decided to "go nuts" and bought all the chicks last summer but never wrote down what breeds they are... was wondering if someone knows. I know that I have more boys than I really want, but that is going to change in the near future. The 2 bigger roosters in the pictures are the ones we are going to keep.

The one in the first picture is a Light Brahma, the second picture is a Buff Orpington, the third picture is a Rhode Island Red, and the sixth picture is an Easter Egger. I think your roosters are mixes. It looks like you have a lovely flock!

is the first one not a Light Sussex?

My wife asked if the Easter egger is the one laying blue eggs... lol

I think it has feathered legs and a pea comb, but it is hard to tell from that picture. @Rounsville83 do you have a better picture of the hen in the first photo?

No, it's a light Brahma. She has a pea comb, and yellow feathered legs. Light Sussex have a single comb, white legs and no leg feathering.

Yes, the EE is laying the colored eggs. I agree with Pretty Birds on the breeds - light Brahma, buff Orpington, production red/hatchery RIR, 2 mixed breed cockerels and an EE.

Here is a better picture of the white... and a black I forgot earlier

She is definitely a Light Brahma. The black one could be a Black Australorp.
