Breed please? 10-11 weeks old

[Charlotte68]

Brand new chicken owner here as of last July. Got a few different breeds from feed store who ordered them for us from a hatchery in Arizona (sorry, don’t know name). The last picture is of her hatch-mate, if that’s a proper term? Lol! One of them has more copper coloring. After searching and searching, the only breed I come to the conclusion of is a barnevelder? But truly, I am so new to this that I have very little confidence in my conclusion. Thank you very much for your help!

More then likely some sort of sex-link that someone was working on. Can you contact that feed store that you ordered them from to see if they might know or could find out for you?

Yes, we’ve thought of doing that. They seem a bit unorganized. They hand write everything-which is fine of course-but thought I’d get some expert opinions on here as well. Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it!

Good luck in finding out what you have. I'm here in Arizona. Most people around here really don't care much about what breed that the chicken's are, and have the attitude of "a chicken is a chicken". I ordered what I have from out of state after doing some research and found the breed that I really wanted to work with.

Yes, I think they are a type of blue sex links. Sometimes called Rhode Island blues, sometimes production blues, and I am sure there are other names at different hatcheries.

Thank you, I appreciate it. So if they are some kind of sex links, does that mean this color represents female? I’m really new to this, so sorry for the ignorance.

Oh my, good to know! Thanks for the reply.

No need to apologize, ever. These forums are meant for questions and we are all in here to help each other out. Your two are definitely females, and very pretty, too.

looks similar to mine, who at 7 weeks looked like this.

I picked mine up at TSC.

Well thank you very much-you are very kind! And yes, I think they are beautiful!
