Attempted breed pics that I need help identifying....

And it just made me realize that cuddlez and rooster always fight lately and now I can see its a cock as for the others they were all supposed to be females that I had bought. I sure hope they are not male.

RIR are red with brown when they first start getting their feathers.


How old are they? Where did you get them from?

ETA: Correction: Production reds are brown and red when first getting their feathers, I've never seen a pure RIR chick in person, so I can't say about those.

Ok the first two I had gotten in July from a kanagroo farm the lady said they were two weeks old. So that was the first weekend of July about two weeks after I had purchased 3 what I thought to be hens from a man who ordered them McMurrays hatchery. But they were only a couple of days old...

I have had pure RIR chicks with some partridge-like feathering when they were young. They grew out to be solid red with a few dark tail feathers. I have seen Buff Orps with the same thing. Don't know why that happens.

I agree with LilPeeps on all but the last one. You said it started out a lavendar color, could it have just been a light gray? What color are the white one's legs? If they are dark, I am guessing White Jersey Giant.

 

[kidzmom5]

No the greyish white one the littlest actually she has light green legs. So Im still a little puzzled one it.

 

[Dustin Biery]

Being a smaller bird, with the legs you have described, I would guess White JG. They are a heavier bird at maturity, and will grow slower than the other breeds.

Wow thanks. Its really interesting to know there are alot of different breeds for chickens.
