What kind of Chicken......

[RoyalCoopMom]

Can anyone help identify these two girls? I think one is a Ameraucana but not sure about the other, the lighter one has white lobes. The feed store says they are between 5 and 9 months but I am guessing the first one is <4 months old and the second one is around 6? Any tips on estimating age?

Is the first one a bantam?

It's not supposed to be but I guess it could. Her comb is barely started to develop so I figured she was just younger.

One Silver Leghorn and one Splash Andalusian.

The hen to the left looks like a Dorking bantam and the cockerel to the right looks like a bantam lavender Orpington. Hope this helps! They looks like two beautiful 4-7 month old chickens.

Dorkings have white skin and five toes. Orpingtons don't have white earlobes.

Oops, just noticed that. Sorry.

Agree with junebuggena, Silver Leghorn and Splash Andalusian. Both are pullets.

OK then I was way off base guessing Amerucana and Favaucana. But the pics I see now match pretty close. I'm surprised, my experience hasn't been great with the white leghorn I have, very flighty, but this little girl (the silver leghorn) is pretty friendly more so than the splash even.
