I got these from the one in Lakeland, FL.

No, not $10 each...$10 for the pair of Polish. Everything else was under $5 each, but I thought that was a great deal on these beautiful Polish.

It is a really great price ....

The pullets and hens we been buying for 6.00 are already laying , so I guess thats not bad either

I know OEGs are usually a little wilder, but we have an OEG hen who is the sweetest, most tame chicken we have - my children carry her around and she follows us like a puppy if they put her down.

So, they aren't *all* wild and crazy.

Oh - also, she could be a mix of course. We have some sweet little cochin mix hens that are cochin, OEG and "something else" and they have the fluffy legs.

Number 1 looks part Japanese or part Serama

You have some pretty Ancona boys...Is the lighter one older than the other? I have a girly Ancona, right now she has the hots for the Spitzhauben I got off Meri(Chiknmama).

I think #1 is part mottled Jap with some Cochin influence
#2 looks to have some gamey influence with that pointed red face.
Cute, but love the polish ....

#1 looks like a mottled cochin bantam mix to me.
#2 is probably an OEGB mix, not sure what color.
#3 I have no idea, all the barred ones look the same to me

Hen one has some OEGB for sure.. but she has a way too short tail and it looks totally different, and feathered feet ALSO rules out OEGB, so im guessing Half mottled oegb, Half Brahma, i say, 2nd shes SOME TYPE of game.. and looks very young, i'd say 3 months-4 months color wise she looks like a dark.. Very dark BBred, Many of the old timers that raised OEGBs can tell you about this color, i've seen one so dark before it came looking like a black with just brownish coloring peeking through... no idea on the barred
