I am hoping someone can tell me what kind of chickens I have. This our first time with chickens and we bought them at TSC and we thought we were getting 15 cornish rocks. Nope we have 9 of those and 6 mystery birds. Anyway, we have 4 cockrels and 2 hens. Here is one of each:





It's pretty easy to tell which one is which. Here's the roo:



And a close up of the hen:


They were supposed to be meat birds (we do have 5 pullets of unknown breeds as well) so I am hoping they are at least a dual purpose. The hens are very sweet and we will keep them for eggs. If anyone can tell me what these pretty birds are it would be great!

Thanks
Beth
 
they look like the light brahma that I ordered.. could be wrong though (newbie)..
 
They aren't light Brahmas, Brahmas have feathered legs. Light Sussex have pink legs. Maybe they're Columbian Rocks?
