What kind of birds are these? I'm a little new, but terrible at abbreviations
@Momplus1 Theses are Whitings from McMurray, they are a mix with Leghorn from what I've read. The WTG/straight comb are suppose to lay greenish eggs although one is laying green while the other is pink/brown. The WTB/pea comb but mine seem to ge a cross between pea/rose, suppose to lay blue eggs, still waiting on them. So far the WTG have been laying consistently everyday ;)
1st pic = The middle ones are the WTG

Thank you for explaining that. The one with black on her tail and neck feathers looks so much like my Calico Princess, but from what I've learned, Calico Princess have barred feathers (my girl does but just on her legs). She is a high egg production which makes me nervous knowing what I know now. The other one of yours with the white looks like my Starlight Green Egger. It's so funny because my 2 girls that I'm referring to are the very best friends! My Calico Princess is laying brown eggs and the SGE hasn't started laying yet, but she's close. I'm expecting to find a very light green egg soon! Thanks again for the explanation. I will definitely look into the breed!
 
I voted my chubbies thought they were too cute to lay so they waited til they were over 30 weeks I have 6 cochins, 2 blrw and the big guy, a blue partridge Brahma.
