Another update on TSC chicks

[Mduran613]

Just curious if anyone would know the breeds now that they are around 18 weeks. The tsc thay i got them from came from hoover hatchery. They were labeled (at the store) as buff orpingtons and all hens. Obviously not true. Out of the 4, 2 were roosters.

My guess is a brown leghorn mix. The brown chest throws me off. They are pretty active, skittish, and the alpha is protective.

Have they laid yet? I'm thinking they are Starlight Green Eggers.

I am assuming starlight green eggers are a mix? Do they have white earlobes

They are a hybrid, and often look a lot like brown Leghorns, but their looks vary a lot from bird to bird. Searching Google Images will turn up some pictures. They are bred to lay lots of green eggs.
