Thank you! They are, but I was getting light blue eggs from my other EE's. I am getting very dark brown eggs now that I got this bunch of hens. Not sure who's giving me those! Also getting more light blue/green eggs.

Got some more pictures of the black hens today... #9, she has very light feet. #10 #11 #10 RIGHT, #11 LEFT

Will work on getting one :) Also will take a look at the black hens leg colors.

#10 is single combed.

Love reading all of the replies! So much fun :) @Better Than Rubies - thank you! Excited that those 3 middle birds are pencilled rocks, they're rare-ish around here :) And I love rocks.

Thank you! I got them from someone liquidating their collection of heritage breeds just 15 minutes from me, but the person who met me there didn't know the specific breeds, so I just picked out my favorites :) So glad there's rocks and chantecelers in there! Not sure what the skin color is on...

#1 and #2 have flat-ish combs, I thought maybe Chantecler?

What are the breeds of the following hens? Thanks!

Bumping :) Any more information on foraging breeds?

Looking for purebred Black Australorps, Gold & Silver Laced Wyandottes. Sexed pullet hicks or ready to lay pullets. Purebreds only. Will consider hatching eggs. Within 30-45 minutes of Chatsworth (Owen Sound) area ideal. Thanks!

Hi, I'm from Owen Sound area, Ontario! Trying to find Australorps, Gold & Silver Laced Wyandottes. Anyone know of any breeders in my area? Also, what are your thoughts on Perforance Poultry and DC Heritage Poultry? Some people are saying Performance ships, but on their website it says they do...

Are the following 4 chicks pullets or roos? About 2 months old, Barred Rock over Barnyard mix hen.

I have two ducks, a muscovy and a pekin. The pekin is the drake. Will they mate and have fertile eggs?

They're not going to protect against everything of course. Nothing that is light enough to move easily will do that :) An electric fence can be put up around it. It can be electrified as well. As far as I know, there are very few problems like that with them.
