Breed help

[ArcadiaFarms22]

I need help identifying the breed of my rooster and my hens. I got them from a neighbor. One of the Reds lays a medium olive colored egg, and from the white hens I get varying shades of brown. Thank you.

I think they're probably all mixed breeds. The rooster could be a barred rock mix, the black and white hen a Delaware mix, and the red hens Easter egger mixed with Rhode Island red. But there's no way to be certain about these things.

Thank you for your help. My rooster we were thinking might be mixed with black Australorp because he does have the incandescent feathers at his tail. My neighbor told us she wasn't sure of their breeds.

That is quite possible. They are pretty birds.

Thank you. I thought Colonel Cluckers was different looking. He is super nice too, which for me is a huge plus.

Definitely a bonus. Well behaved roosters can be difficult to find.

He had been a little rough with my girls, but I think we just didn't have enough ladies. We only had 3 at the time. Now he has 8 and alot better.
