Breed?

[KikiLeigh02]

Can anyone tell me what the white hens are? The guy that we bought them from though they were Leghorns but I'm not sure. According to him they're about 15 weeks now. If it helps I know the golden ones are Buff Orpingtons, the red ones are RIR's, I'm not sure about the black one either. I don't have any good pictures of her though.

Either White Leghorns or White Rocks. They should be old enough for their earlobes to be in....white is Leghorn, red is Rock.

Look at the bottom of the black birds feet. White/pink is Austrolorp, yellow is Jersey Giant.

Thank you! I'll try to get a better picture, but they're a little flighty. They have quite a bit of red/brown patches on them that you can't really see. I'll check their earlobes tonight though! I'm thinking they may be a mix, maybe an Amber Link?

If the black one has any red flecks around the neck or head feathers it could be a black sex link also.

She doesn't! I have two of them and I can't really figure them out. She's about 25 weeks now. I'll see if I can get a better picture when I check the bottoms of her feet.

Whites are White Rocks, red are Production Reds, and the black is most likely an Australorp.

The bottom of the black hens feet are yellow so Jersey Giant? They heavier than my other birds but not really bigger. They are more docile and pretty low in the pecking order. These were the best I could get of the white ones, they stay pretty close to the little rooster.
