Breeds??

[BlessedChaosHomestead]

Got some fluffy butts from RK.

What breed is chick no. 1?
She is much larger than all the rest we got even though they all were supposed to be same age.

Chick 2

Chick 3- what is she?

Chick 4- barred rock?

I’m assuming 2 is a black australorp.

Actually no; at least that’s not what we were told we bought. Lol

 

[BlessedChaosHomestead]

Any suggestions on those??

3 is an Easter egger. Green legs, obvious beard and muffs.

2 could be a Jersey giant.

4 is most likely a barred rock, cuckoo Marans or olive egger. Difficult to read the leg color in the photo, but rocks will have yellow legs and Marans will have white legs.

For #1, a good shot of its comb could help. Not sure what type it is.

Is EE the same as Americana? Bc that's what it was supposed to be.
2 is what we got.
But 4 was supposed to be a "Rainbow Mix".
I'll post a better pic of 1's comb. She may just be an Americana too. But she's just way bigger than the others.

Yes, an Americana and an Easter egger are the same thing. Spelt differently, Ameraucanas are a pure breed but they'd never have green legs as they are a white skinned breed, not yellow skinned. Hatcheries have made things confusing with that matter.

#1 has a pea comb so could well be another Americana.

I am not sure what they mean by rainbow mix for #4. Some hatcheries sell what they call rainbows, which are a meat strain that are also pretty good layers. Or maybe it's one of the barred breeds I already mentioned. I guess time will tell.

The black chick could be any number of breeds that have black varieties. Jersey Giants, Australorps, Orpingtons, and more. Time will tell with that one, too.

Hoover sells a Rainbow mix. Your guess as good as mine what that entails.

Yeah, time will tell w it. Whether it’s a barred or not.
We got White Leghorns (not pic), Jersey Giants, Americanas (EE), and Rainbow Mix.
The 2 Chubby cheeked are easy to identify. Same w WL & JG, but the others left aren’t. Lol

Nope. But they all look nice and healthy, so whatever the questionable ones are they should be nice birds.
