Delawares, Leghorns,.....?

[MadabtChickens]

Okay. I'm confused. I have 2 cockerels and 4 pullets that are all supposed to be Delawares. 5 of the 6 all look similar. There's one that completely stands out. Different eyes, color, and shape. I'd like to know if they are all Delawares, or if I have a different breed. Please help!

It looks like you have all leghorns except the one in the last pic which is a delaware...

That is NOT a Delaware. See what looks like a pea comb (could be the pic, though) and solid black hackles? Delawares have single combs and barred hackles. It almost looks like a Brahma with no leg feathering, but it is definitely not a Del. You find white legs, single combs, solid black hackles and black tail feathers on Light Sussex. Are the legs white as opposed to yellow and the comb single? If so, I'd say Lt. Sussex.

I don't know if the others are Leghorns or White Rocks. The hatchery white Rocks are pretty slender much of the time so at a young age, it's hard for me to say.

They all have single combs. I will get a better individual pic of one of the white ones and Belle. They are almost 3 months old right now.

Okay, then if it has a single comb and white/pinkish legs, it's a Light Sussex, not a Delaware. Pretty girl, that one. If it had yellow legs, I'd have said Columbian Rock, but they are even more rare than Light Sussex. Where did you get them?

You have one Light Sussex and the rest are Leghorns. The way you can tell she is a Light Sussex is that 1. She has pink legs 2. Her neck and tail markings aren't barred ( a dellie's would be).
I love Light Sussex, big gorgeous birds
