Hi all, I’ve been having a time trying to figure out what kind of birds I have. I purchased them through TSC rather quickly—the person in front of me was buying up every last Easter Egger, and these were what were left. They were labeled something like Blue Beauty something-or-other and as female. So having been seeking 4 hens for my small property, I decided to go with it and see.
When they were small they looked just like California White chicks—yellow fuzzies with black spots. Three have dark grey legs/combs/wattles and one has yellow legs with pink/red comb/wattle. Now that they’re around 17 weeks, I’ve been leaning towards Splash Orpingtons because they’re the only chicken I can find that looks somewhat like mine. However, they could just be a barnyard mix. Also at various points I’ve thought I might have a rooster or 2 (larger comb/wattles than the rest but still no crowing). Any help much appreciated!
