Any idea on breed?

[MagnusT]

So, these two came from our neighbour's chickens (we incubated the eggs) and the cockerels they have are a light sussex and a barred plymouth rock. No idea what hens they were from as they have a whole load of different breeds.

I know one of them is clearly mixed, but I was wondering whether they have names?

Looks like they have Marans not BPR's so I say the second is a pure Marans.

First looks like a Light Sussex cross.
Second is a Plymouth Rock cross.
Those are the cockerels, so they obviously have those breeds in them.

Do you have a photo of their cockerels?

Yeahhh… @MangusT, do you have any hens w/ pink legs?

We don't, but the people we got the eggs from to incubate have all of these...

I should say, at the time we got the eggs from them, they only had a light sussex rooster, and a barred plymouth rooster. I think they got another rooster since then but honestly, they have so many I lose track lol

Correct!


Neither are Barred Rock or Light Sussex. Looks like you have a Delaware and a Marans.

The eggs these two hatched from were brown, but not jumbo in size. Not sure if that helps.

Thanks all for your feedback. We had no idea what they might be so it's been interesting!

Doms have rose combs.
This one has a single comb.
If they are not pure, that explains the Sussex looking like a Delaware, and the Barred Rock having white feet.
I did wonder why the 'Delaware' had white feet.

I just thought Dominique because the hens are more light gray/ silver then barred rocks or marans but they could be a mix if the egg was a dark brown it's probably a maran if not maybe a barred rock or a mix

They're both a mish mash of breeds lol. I can't get over how pretty they are. Especially the black and brown tail feathers on Roadie (white one)

Probably mixes. Unless the neighbor had hens of the roosters breed.
