My husband I purchased 20 assorted brown egg laying chickens from My Pet Chicken last month and are still trying to figure out their breeds. I think the white one with the black speckles might/could be a Delaware but it's just a guess. The black one is truly a mystery. When it was just a fluff ball I thought it was a Barred Plymouth Rock but now that it's feathers are blossoming, it doesn't appear to be one. It's feathers are all black, as are it's feet(really dark colored, anyway)and it lacks the yellow-rimmed eyes like the BPRs. Although, I just noticed that it's crown feathers that are just starting to grow in look as though they're barred. Any guesses? I do realize it's most likely too early to really know but I'm so eager to know what they are.

Thanks, guys! It's legs do appear a bit greenish in the photo but it's just a color cast from the grass. They're yellow. Here's another picture where they don't look so green.
