Deathlayer? Or campine

[Fordfunnyfarm]

Was told they are deathlayers but I’m thinking they look very campine. I’m not familiar with either breed. Thanks for the guidance.

Depending on where you got them from whom or hatchery?

Actually the Campine are endangered and I feel would be better than the deathlayers.

Look at the combs: Campines have single combs, Deathlayers don't.

I'm finding some sources that say Deathlayers have rose combs, and others that say cushion combs, but they all agree that Deathlayers should have some kind of small, low comb that does not stand up from their head.

Young chickens tend to have small combs anyway, but when they're fully grown the difference should be quite obvious.

Adult Campines would have obvious combs, but I'm having trouble seeing the combs on these. So I'm guessing Deathlayers (although they could possibly be young Campines.)

Look like death layers. Campines should have single combs I believe.

Thank you for the information!
