?15 week Easter eggers and RIR

[vdietz]

Got these 3 today on my local buy nothing group. The lady said they are 15 weeks. They are TINY compared to my Easter eggers...they don't have beards, have yellow legs and single combs. I am new to chickens so I know very little about chickens! Also do all 3 look like pullets? The one "Easter egger" has a larger comb and a slightly longer tail.

They look like Brown Leghorns to me. And either a RIR or Red Sex Link, I'm not an expert on those breeds.

Can you try to get more up close pictures? From the side if you can?

Definitely not easter eggers... they do look like brown leghorns. The red one looks like a red sex link, because rhode island reds are usually a darker red.

So the one in the background is a RIR yours look nothing like that

They are shy. My husband went to pick them up and the lady was afraid to touch them.

You have a New Hampshire Red and a Light Brown Leghorn and *maybe* a Welsummer. Welsummers are usually a bit larger in size, but they have red ear lobes. If they both have white earlobes, they're Leghorns, if one has red, likely a Welsummer. Once they lay Welsummers will lay dark brown eggs versus a Leghorn's white, so that will be quite obvious

Do you think they are 15 weeks and pullets?

Yeah, the age sounds right. Definitely pullets

They are so cute! And now they have a home where they can be enjoyed instead of feared.
