Breed types

[Robert oc]

Can you help me determine breed type?

Your barred bird appears to be a Dominique.
They have rose combs, where
Barred Rocks will have single combs.

 

[Aunt Angus]

Such a pretty flock! And, yes, a Dominique!

Thank you for that info.

I ordered a “heavy egg laying“ package of 15 chickens.

I sent pictures to the hatchery Whom I bought the chickens from 10 weeks,
and they are not wanting to help me figure out what breeds I have.

I went to a ‘bird farm’ Who accepted my rooster ..because I can not have a rooster in the city.

I was hoping at that bird farm, they would be able to help me determine the breeds. But they did not seem to have a lot of experience with doing that.


I think that dark brown one might be an Americana maybe.
One of the redish/brown ones is making cooing noises louder than the other two of the same color, I hope it’s not a rooster

From what I can tell your red ones look like Red Sex Links (known by many other names) and your white ones look like White Rocks. Post good clear close-ups of the birds in question and we can give it a go! Welcome to BYC!

Hello Robert, !
Dominique, looks like Golden Comets, Easter Egger, and possibly Amberlinks, White Rocks, or Rhode Island Whites.

 

[LadiesAndJane]

The dark brown black one that you’re calling an Americana is likely an Easter Egger and unfortunately it may very well be a male. Post good clear photos of this one individually with a close-up of the comb & side view of the whole bird.

 

[Aunt Angus]

The red/brown ones look like production reds. I love mine! I can't tell the white ones. The darkest one looks like an EE.

 

[Fluffy Lambs]

Yes it is an EE. They wouldn't send you an Americana. How old are they?

He did act very defensive for the others in their young chick days, which is why we thought he might be a rooster. We were hoping that he would be a chicken because we like the personality
