Friend needs helping figuring out what she has

[Vickir73]

My friend's flock is about 6-8 months old and she acquired them from different people/places so she really doesn't know what she has. Can anyone help her?

Mystery #1 - hasn't laid yet

Mystery #2 - hasn't laid yet

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not good enough at breeds to know what the first one is.

I'm 95% sure the second one is a rooster....thats why no eggs.....

Maybe a RIR or NH cross?

The red one is a rooster. The chickens appear to be mixed breeds.

#1 is an Easter Egger mix, but you can just call it an EE since they're mixed anyways

#2 is a Standard Buff Cochin mix. Potentially a rooster.

...but I was going to say the second is definitely a cockerel.

I guess I need to do more studying before the next quiz!
I thought M.#1 looked a bit like my Australorp, Shadow. (How do you 3 figure EE, which features?)

i have no doubt the cochin mix is a rooster if he lays i'd be worried lol!

I had a rooster that look exactly like the red one! And I think it was a mixed cochin but I wasn't sure. So I think yours is a rooster too

You know, I wouldn't be surprised if she's an EE/Australorp mix, because that was the impression I had until I saw her beard. Australorps are too lady-like to have any such feature
