Does anyone know what kinds of chickens these are??

[greenacreshens]

What about a Black Minorca? Does anybody have any of these? I saw a picture online of one of those and thought maybe she was that?

Black Minorca....very possible. I was thinking along those lines myself.

The first one a Phoenix I think - pullet
Second a golden Sebright cockerel
Third a Partridge cochin pullet
Fourth a Black Minorca - pullet?
Fifth a Lakenvelder Cockerel

Those last two are completly depending on their age..you didnt say.

The black could also be a black phase blue Andalusian.

Well now I am really confused!! The second one has been laying eggs so it can't be a boy??
I forgot to put their ages on there too, they are 4 months old.

I agree with Smokey but the first is a silver grey dorking I think. You can be sure if it is by checking for 5 toes.

Does the black one have a rosecomb or a single comb? I could not quite tell from the picture. I have a Black Rosecomb that looks similar to her. I looked up the breeds that have been mentioned in the APA Standard of Perfection. Minorcas can have a single comb or a rosecomb, White Faced Black Spanish has a single comb and Andalusians have a single comb. The type of comb she has may narrow it down a little for you. Hope this helps.

Thank you for all of your help! I guess the golden Sebright cockerel has been claiming someone else's eggs!!
If anyone out there is interested the cockerels will be given away for free since I don't need them in the hen house!!
Thank you also for the comb info, I will have to go out there an investigate that!

I agree with Franfoley. We have a couple of SG Dorkings, about 3 months old. They have the extra toe and are very shortlegged. Beautiful birds.

greenacreshens,

If I were you, I wouldn't give them away until I was sure they are roosters. At 4 months old, they should be crowing if they are really boys.
