can anyone tell me what type of chicken this is?

[godzilladrw]

Ive just adopted these two chickens and am confident the little one is a "Silkie" the big one I have no idea, Rhode Island Red?

Yupp, the one on the right is definately a silkie. The other one is definetaly NOT an RIR.
A better picture of the one on the left would help with identification.
I am kinda getting a Welsummer vibe though. Perhaps other BYC'ers can provide another opinion.

The other one is a Golden-laced Wyandotte. Wyandottes are a dual-purpose medium-sized breed, mine have always laid well and they are very cold hardy. I can't tell if yours has a single or rose comb - Wyandottes are supposed to have rose combs, but one from lower-quality stock (hatcheries mostly) sometimes have single combs. The only problem with that is you can't show it. Good luck!

I think it is a gold layced wayandotte.

My gut reaction guess is GLW, but my two Wyandottes (1 SL & 1 BLR) both have yellow legs. Can't see too well in the photo, but do they look greyish? Could be a mix? But the color pattern and the fluffy underskirts are very Wyandotte.
