Barnyard Batch of 9! (Part 7)

[SwampFlock]

I bought this mix as day-olds from CL to "chickenize" a flock of Guinea Fowl of the same age. I figured they were run of the mill Rhode Island Red based birds but I've ended up with all these beauties! I'm not sure of general breeds they came from or sexing for them. Any help is appreciated!

Looks cockerel... but not completely sure. Maybe a dominique mix?

Wyandotte mix cockerel

My guess would be a Dominique mix. Both the barring and rose comb could come from that breed. The color is to deluted to be pure.

How do you have so many mixed boys?

That's a pretty bird!

There could be some Dominique blood in there...he has single barring, pink feet and brassy leakage.
I have Dominiques.
My girls are just balanced differently. Their heads are a different shape.

Yours has a head that reminds me of a Wyandotte.

Just lucky I guess? It was a Craigslist buy as I just needed a quick fix for my guineas. I'm not sure if any of these breeds are able to be sexed at birth. If so that's on the guy I bought them from but he had a box of about 30 chicks and I handpicked 10 just aiming for a few that looked different from one another.

Wyandotte mix cockerel

I’m guessing wyandotte mix based on the OP’s other threads.

Cockerel. Mix of probably Wyandotte because of the lacing and perhaps Dominique or another barred breed as well.
