I have been studying these pages for weeks...time to see if I have learned anything!This one someone said was an EE but the egg assortment didn't included ee's(or hatchery advertised amerecauna's) so the only guess I can make is maybe speckled Sussex? But pretty sure it is a pullet as the other of this breed from the same hatch had much bigger and redder combs.

These two are sunshine and Georgia. I think they are both pullets. It looks like Georgia, with the darker head is a white giant. She has willow colored legs with yellow bottoms. I am thinking sunshine is either white rock or leghorn but will have to wait for ear lobes to come in to know for sure.

This one is a light brahma, I couldn't get any good ones on her own, at first I was leaning towards cockerel but when I checked out the rest of them from the same hatch this one looked more pullet than any of the others so I am hopeful!

Well I have already decided on my own that I am absolutely wrong about the first one. I have no idea what breed it is! LOL
 
Really! That excites me! I guess I shouldn't have doubted myself so quickly! LOL do you have pictures of yours at this age?
 
Barnevelder or dark Cornish on 1 (can't see the comb well enough on my little screen). Definitely NOT a speckled Sussex.

Here is a better comb picture. I tried to upload it before but it wouldn't work for some reason.

Yeah, I think that's a pea comb which would be dark Cornish. Barnevelder has a single. The nice, even patterning is feminine.
 
Thank you! Do you think I am right with breed and gender on the white ones?
