Any ideas on ID's for my birds

[terris1959]

I have a few birds that I got at a local poultry auction and was wondering if anyone could give me some ideas on what kind they are.

Have 2 of these hens

Have 7 of these and will be taking 5 back to the auction next month

These are the hens that go with the rooster in the picture above

Is this polish a rooster or a hen ? I'm thinking rooster but it hasn't crowed yet. Its head was allmost picked clean of it"s feathers and I felt sorry for him and just had to have him, I know he will look better eventually.

thanks, Terri

Nice birds!

First two look like Dark Brahmas, but they have a pea comb and the rooster has a single. Maybe Silver Pencilled Cochin? Cant see the third picture. Then Easter Egger then Polish then Rhode Island Red, I believe.

Not a clue! I don't do Polish, LOL. Sorry!

I'm not to sure but the first two might be pencilled laced Cochin's, last one Rhode Island Red.

from what I can see of your rooster from the side and what's left of his poor little poof....it looks to be a rooster. The hens have really nice formed "poofs on their head. The rooster's have a more "disheveled" poof. Hope that helps a little.

I have answers for you

1st pic -- silver penciled cochins
2nd and 3rd pics -- look like birchen cochins
4th pic --EE
5th pic -- Polish looks like a roo
6th pic -- RIR


Compare your 1st pic with my silver penciled cochins:

Mine are 15 weeks now, about 12 weeks in the pic!!

Thanks everyone, I have several more that need ID"s also.

The first is probably around 3 months old and I think it is probably a mix but what do you think the mix is? I know it's pretty hard to see through the fence so here are several pics.

silkie mix

can anyone tell by these two pics of the buff silkies if I have a hen and rooster ?

Thanks for all your help, Terri

I'd say silkie/EE

Tuft reminds me of silkie crosses but the poufy head/neck feathers says EE!
