The first two, Curly Sue and Henrietta, I know to be Rhode Island Reds because they were among a batch of RIR that a friend and I purchased last spring.
This one is Lily White.
This one is Ebony. In the sunlight, her feathers have highlights of green, blue, and even some violet.
This one is Silvie.
This one is Goldie. She has no feathers around her comb.
This one is Josephina. She has golden feathers, some black in her tail, and a pink face.
These two are Marilyn and Hillary. They are the same, although Hillary looks more white. She was moulting.
This one is Georgia Peach. She looks similar to Josephina but is more of a peach color and does not have black in her tail.
This one is Lacey. She looks very much like our RIR but has a pattern on her feathers, similar to Goldie's.
This one is Fargo. I thought she was an Auracauna (sp?), but then I read that that breed does not have a tail, and she does. She lays very large eggs that are sometimes a mauvy-tan and sometimes a greenish blue.
And finally, these two are Juliet and Alouette. The only difference between them is that Juliet seems to have more white than black in her pattern than Alouette does.
Thank you to anyone who can answer these questions for me.
