The little one I know if an OEGB the bigger black chicken I am unsure of the breed (sold to by a feed store as a cuckoo Maran)
I am pretty sure they are both pullets, but I am getting antsy waiting to know since where I live I cannot have roosters..
Thanks everyone

Both pullets. The larger one is not cuckoo, or black. She is blue.

What kind of combs do the birds have? Neither look like single combs.
 
Oh thank god! My husband and I were worried because we just moved to town and bought a house with a beautiful little shed I turned into a coop and named them Pip and Pigpen.. They are our pets so the thought of rehoming either of them killed me.
I didn't think Pigpen the bigger chick was a cuckoo... And its been a while since I raised chickens.. I can't remember the name of the comb she has but its similar to the combs wyandottes have..
And Pip the OEGB has a single I believe its just very tiny... Very hard to tell.

Thank you everyone! :)
 
She looks to have willow legs, so maybe it's a peacomb, rather than rose? If so, she could be some sort of Olive Egger or Easter Egger?

If it is Rose, she could be a mixed Wyandotte?
 
Yeah.. I am thinking she is some kind of barnyard mix..
Dumb question, do chick factorys sell mix breed chickens? They were bought from L&M ..so I am assuming they get their chicks from a hatchery ?
 
We don't really have 'hatcheries' here in the same way you do, but they seem to invent their own hybrid 'breeds' fairly regularly; hence my thought that she could be an Olive Egger or Easter Egger.

When I say she might be a mix, it's not unheard of for a bird to hop a fence, but when it comes to hatcheries, the breed quality can suffer as a result of poor breeding choices; a hen with dark shanks could easily be put into a breeding pen.
