Any idea on Breed?

[Kwoka]

Hope these are better for ID. We're based in the UK. Thanks.

I have a pullet that looks very similar to that!

She is mix of red sex-link hen (Light sussex x RIR) with a light Sussex rooster, hatched from an egg from my friend’s flock….BUT there is also a chance her mom or dad are a black sex-link (New Hampshire x Barred rock) because he also has those hens and a roo. I’m not an expert on chicken genetics, but I’m thinking she is the first mix because of her white legs and collar stripes… but she is also kind of barred, so idk really

Fwiw she’s probably the smartest in the flock, always first to figure things out lol

We've had 2 eggs so far, but we don't know who they've come from! Both light brown so far, but we have a Sussex, Copper Maran, bluebell and black rock in with them too!

Ok. They are probably mixes. But she dose resemble my girl a little bit

They're mixed breeds.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts. Today the reddish brown girl laid a beautiful blueish egg, so she definitely has some blue egg laying genetics in her somewhere!

She is very similar! But we think she laid a blue egg today which is very interesting...
So far she's spent her time on the windowsill of the shed staring out of the window and avoiding the others, she's towards the bottom of the pecking order - she'll be thrilled when her quarantine is over!

They look like mixes of some sort.

I agree that they look like mixes.
But I think I see short beaks in the photos (as if they had their beaks cut as chicks, to prevent feather picking).

So I think they are probably some kind of commercially-produced hybrids, that may have spent time at a commercial egg farm. (Yes, hybrids are still mixes. But I mean the kind of specially-designed mixes that are produced by hatcheries, rather than a random combination from someone's backyard flock.)

If the brown one laid a green egg, then she probably has Legbar in her ancestry somewhere (brown, maybe white barring, single comb, blue or green eggs, but obviously not a pure Legbar. Since she has no crest, she is probably not a first generation Legbar cross either.) I would probably call her an Easter Egger, just because she lays green eggs and doesn't fit the description for any pure breed I know of.

For the white one, she might just be dirty, but there are also some commercial hybrids that lay brown eggs and look "dirty white" even when they are completely clean. Amberlink is one type available in the USA, but I wouldn't be surprised if a different name is used for similar chickens in the UK.

Ha! How fun. The mystery continues.

And she is not an Ameraucana.
