So I have been told that they look like several breeds; Rhode Island reds, barnevelder or barnevelder mix, and Partrige Rocks.
Please help me find out the exact breed. all help is greatly appreciated!


^ This is "Mrs. T"

^ This is "Tyson" She is currently broody and in a wire cage

^ The one on the left is "*****" and the one on the right is "Rogaine"
 
The thing is the feathered legs. Rocks don't have feathers on the legs, and cochins should have much more feathering. They're fluffier like cochins but do not look like quality cochins--don't take that as an insult. They could be poorer quality cochins or a mix.
 
i think their feathers being wet makes them look less than what they are - plus getting feathered feet regularly wet deteriorates the quality of the feathers - but I agree donrae - def hatchery quality!
 
They could be a cross between the two. Your hens are really pretty to me, particularly Tyson, but probably because its a close-up showing off her bright coloring.
 

Look at this pic of Tyson one of my favs all wet I dunked her into cool water a few times not her head though. Because I read to try that to make them stop brooding didnt work so I stuck her in the cage
