Breeds?

[Ali00]

Does anyone have any guesses on the breeds of these 3? They are 12 weeks old. I believe my cockerel is either an EE or OE (he has gray feathered legs), but the other 2 I am unsure of!

Where did they come from?

As you said, your roo could either be an EE or an OE (possibly more likely the former). The first pullet is a Black Sex Link, and the other is a Red Sex Link. So beautiful.

What a nice selection!

I didn't see the detail about your boy's feathered legs.... he's almost certainly an Olive Egger, then.

There's nothing about Sex Links on the list, unless they're referred to as "mixed breeds?"

I figured they were some kind of mix, but the not knowing what they are is driving me crazy so I was hoping someone could take a stab at it . Elvis (cockerel) hatched out of a blue egg, so as I have never owned an EE/OE, I just assumed he was an EE until I started reading about different generations of OE’s. So I will just assume he is an OE lol.

First is an Olive Egger cockerel, second is a Black Sex Link pullet, & third is a Red/Gold Sex Link pullet.

First is an Olive Egger cockerel, second is a Black Sex Link pullet, & third is a Red/Gold Sex Link pullet.

Agreed
