Ok, I know I have a Crested Polish rooster, can't mistake him for anything else but what are the rest of my flock?
#1 Red hen. This one did not come from Alan at Heartland. Production Red?
#2 Red rooster, I think he's Ameraucana. I edited to add that this one did come from Alan. Welsummer Roo?
#3 Black hen. Black Australorp?
#4 Easter Egger? Salmon Faverolle?
#4 She wouldn't be still, she has what looks like a beard and feathery feet.
#5 White Splash - Easter Egger? or Ameraucana?
#5 This hen has puffy cheeks.
#6 White Splash - Easter Egger? or Ameraucana?
#6
#6 I had to chase this hen around.
#7 Everyone agrees this is a BO. I think this hen is a Buff Orpington. I don't know how I'm going to protect her and her babies once they have hatched. If she viciously protects her eggs and she does, how will I catch her and her babies to put them some where safe?
I have one more hen but she seems to be missing, I can't find her. We do have a sneaky predator around here but I'm hoping she is just hiding somewhere or maybe brooding on a nest we haven't found yet. I will start a new thread for the chicks I have.
#8 (This one has been identified as an EE)This one is the missing hen, I'm pretty sure I kept track of her breed because she was such an unusual color as she grew. I call her my little eagle but I'm pretty sure she's Ameraucana. She has a bald spot on her back from the roosters.
