Chickens from the Auction - what are they? (PICS)

[KellyHM]

I picked up 5 chickens from the auction...not sure what breeds on 3 of them. Help please!

Mystery Bantam hen #1:

Mystery Bantam hen #2:

Barred Rock? Or Cuckoo Marans?

And a pair of Buff Laced Polish for $10!! Aren't they pretty?! Although they didn't want to pose for me.

1st may be a mottled cochin mix,
2 I would guess a game or game mix- what kind of comb?
3 is either a marans or barred rock mix,
and I love the Polish! and a bargain!

The 2nd one has a straight comb, but it's very tiny. I couldn't believe when I saw the Polish there and then got them for $10!!!

Anybody else have a guess on #3?

#3 isn't a BR, at least a pure one. Barring is too uneven and ghosty. Probably a Cuckoo Marans.

#1 looks like a spangle Old English Game Hen to me. [but does she have feathers on her feet? That wouldn't be OEG then I don't think....the rest of her looks like it though]

#3 definitely looks like my Cuckoo Marans girls. Her legs are a little off [usually they are kind of whitish pink in cuckoo Marans], but otherwise she looks just like mine.

No idea about #2, but I LOVE your Polish - how adorable!

I think number one has a lot of ancona blood in her. I have only had roos, but that's all I could think when I saw her.


My boys:

#1 does have feathers on her feet and is very "squatty" like a Cochin, so that's what I'm leaning towards. She's also very tame, unlike OEGs. Don't know much about the Anconas though, so I guess she could be that...

 

[Smartie_Pants]

I think she's an Ancona, but if she seems that much like a cochin maybe she is an Ancona X Cochin?

#1 looks like a hamburg. Spangled. the polishes are pretty i have a golden laced. I have noticed that polishes can be a bit crazy and a lot nutty.
