Feed store grab box. What do we have?

[wilson9044]

So, I went to buy my chickens back in May and the feed store had a grab box of free chicks. They were hatched at the local middle school for a science project. I know that I have three Roos and three pullets, but I am looking for input on breeds. Sorry for the long post. Thanks.

White leghorn???

another White leghorn???

Red Sexlink roo???

Black Austrolorpe??? (white feet)

Another Black A??? (also white feet)

No idea??? (also white feet)

yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, and maybe an EE??

Last looks like it could be a half australorp but I don't know about the other half, could be almost anything.

EXACTLY what I was gonna post!

 

[sherrydeanne]

The last one is not an EE. Unless you surprise me by saying 'the legs are bright green and she has muffs you can't see"

 

[faykokoWV]

number six... maybe a Lakenvelder mix???

As EE's are just mutts, they can be/have anything, legs don't HAVE to be green, just usually are....could be just about any mix though...

Yes, however, EE's have to have some Amer or Ara in there somewhere. I've read about 42 posts today where every bird they weren't sure on was 'probably an EE' so I'm just having a 'not everything is an EE attack'.

The vast majority of EE's have very, very obvious characteristics that make them just as easy to spot out as any other breed. That bird simply has nothing showing to make one think 'EE'.

I need more coffee

Last one looks almost identical to my Buff Orpington Black Sex-link cross..mine has just a little more of the brown in the middle but not much...btw she's a super egg layer. NO mine isn't an EE she was a planed cross
Australorps don't have white feet they are a pinkish color..or should be at least

For clarification, Black australorps should have black legs and tops of their feet should also be black. The bottoms of their feet should pink/white.
