How can I add pictures?? I have several that I took. Do i have to host them on something and put link in here?

Yes, you need to host them somewhere and then put the URL here between the [ img]yourphotoURLhere[ /img] tags.

Ok. Here goes a try. I put them on photobucket. This is only a FEW of the chickens. Theres such a variety of them!

I was told this is a RIR cross with some type of feather foot bantam.

Very colorful calico looking roo

Silvery hen with blackish head

I live in Ca. and the third picture looks just like my new birds. The were sold as Americaunas. So what are they really?

I have one like that one too, but her head is not as big, and she is more of a coppery color, with black/dark brown 'necklace'. I would love to know too. Also have one that is brown with gold 'necklace'. I was told ameracauna?

Those would be easter eggers. It looks like some of them have been crossed with a crested breed.

The third one down is an easter egger, it's a mix breed, usually with some ameraucana in it. Most lay a tinted egg. I don't think there is any hatchery that sells true ameraucana

1&2- have some with the 'bonnets' like that...was told they were OEG
3&4- this is the debate isn't it??

5-looks like a RIR maybe?
6-the feather foot is probably a cochin...have a hen that has 'no butt' either

7-almost looks like a game, cuz of the body shape. my dad has a hen with the same coloring, but a whole lot more white!
8-looks like a silver seabright? Or maybe the guinea in the back got too frisky?

9-?
10-?
11-looks like RIR
Hope I get at least some right!!!

I guess for me the most important things are the eggs. From my expierence the eggs are huge and regular. The kids also love the colored shells.
