i was given another 3 chickens on wednesday but i have no idea what they are, at first i thought some sort of brahma cross? i think one is definatly a cockeral but the other two im unsure of.......can anyone help?

I think you have two hens and a rooster, and they are a easter egger cross.... or americana cross. and it looks like you have an egg sitting in the mud in the first picture.lol just thought id add that in..

I agree it looks like two hens and a roo but the mix looks more like Araucana with a dash of Cochin. The colors on the neck and back are identical to my Araucana but from the waist down looks like my Cochin pullets. Hope that helps

I am thinking
Easter Eggers X Dark Brahma
due to the comb, beard, body type, and feathered shanks. I also agree with the one roo, 2 hens. It can be a little hard to tell with the E.E's but your boy has pointed saddle and hackle feathers, a little bit of a redder comb, the dody stance, and curled tail, and color pattern that isn't as camouflage as the girls.

im secretly hoping its 1 cockeral and two hens, but i suppose i'll have to wait and see if they lay? (its a rock in the first pic

) the guy who gave them me told me its was 3 cockerals but they look more hennish to me ( the two smaller ones) many thanks for the help so far!

i have another cockeral with my other chickens, can any id him for me too? im guessing he's a cross between something too....?

He also looks like an EE cross. He has nice GDW coloring. It looks as though he may have been dubbed, although it may just be a pea comb, hard to tell in the pics.

GDW- Gold Duckwing. Dubbed means that some of the comb has been cut off, it is something they do with gamefowl. By looking at your boy he does look part game, but also due to the beard may have some E.E in him, and thus a pea comb.
