Hi! I'm new to BYC so here's a little about me. I'm only 15 but i plan to go into genetics or animal sciences when i finish high school. I live in Ponder, Tx which is a little west of Denton. I own 2 acres,26 hens, a new rooster,10 ducks, 2 Rex rabbits, and a few dogs. I want to show my birds...
It will be easier to tell in a week or 2.
The last one im guessing is a leghorn. What breeds did the breeder have? The first ones legs look kind of greenish? Most likely and Easter Egger.
Just guessing. Its really hard to tell at this age.

He does not have a rose comb. It is a fairly large straight/single comb.
I agree he does look a lot like the OEG (he looked a lot like an australorp once too LOL) But if he is a banty y'all dont think i should get him some banty hens? I had a D'uccle rooster once and he couldnt...
That looks a lot like a hen to me. I had d'uccles for several years and the roos always had much redder combs than that. I might be proved wrong but im saying hen.
Ok so i got these chicks a the first week of April. The Rooster was a week older than the other chicks then and was bigger than them. I posted pics on here and because of the white one the bottom of his feet everyone agreed he was an Australorp. Well now its may and the hens are bigger than he...
Australorp seems to be the winning vote! Thanks everyone. Im just glad hes not a banty. Id feel so bad for the little fella with all the larger ladies.
