    Could someone help me figure out the breeds of my hens?

    jnntefend: Thanks so much. Whether or not you think you're good at it, I figure that, given the numbers of people who are on this forum, once everyone has had a say, I should know what all of them are.

    The first two, Curly Sue and Henrietta, I know to be Rhode Island Reds because they were among a batch of RIR that a friend and I purchased last spring. This one is Lily White. This one is Ebony. In the sunlight, her feathers have highlights of green, blue, and even some violet. This...
