Game of "Guess That Hen!"

[JuicyFatHead]

One of the orders I got this year was a package of mixed layers.

Wanna try your hand at guessing the breeds?

thanks!

#1- SLW

#2- Red Star or Sex-Link

#3 - Hatchery Silver sebright.

#4- (From left to right) Sex-Link,Silver Sebright,White Rock

#5- Welsummer?

Yay, noobie guesses!

1. SLW
2. Golden Comet <- this guess because of the white feathers
3. Ancona?
4. White Rock (first guessed Leghorn, then looked at Turken's post to compare. She's right; comb is too small for Leghorn.)
5. EE? Or Partridge....something. Looks too skinny to be a Rock, not sure.

What hatchery did you get them from?

EDIT: I think the Welsummer may be correct, I'm not too experience with those. I don't think 3 is a Sebright--the pattern doesn't look like lacing, even messing ones, and it's not that much smaller.

1. silver laced Wyandotte
2. red Sex Link
3. silver spangled Hamburg
4. red Sex Link, silver spangled Hamburg, white Leghorn
5. brown Leghorn or Welsummer

Oh, sorry, forgot to mention I have bunch of white rocks! Haha

I asked for more of those and they were very nice to oblige (even though it's a mix package).

Mcmurray Hatchery... I ordered specific breeds I wanted from Cackle. Both were great. Cackle has great customer service (if you can ever get through the line)..

Ok, SLW.. from google.. I was having a hard time finding one I felt match well enough.. but I've got a bunch of those.. now.

Thanks for all the input.. that 3rd one with the blue legs has me stumped... I've got a handful of those. Really skittish.

Most Mediterranean breeds like Anconas and Leghorns are really skittish. I'll take a look at the MM web, be back in a bit...

EDIT: Well, I took a look, and now I am really stumped.... I thought Anconas were white with black, but MM says they're black with white, so maybe a Silver Spangled Hamburg? You can never tell with hatchery birds, maybe just very poor quality spangling?

Oh yeah.. and I'm pretty sure the last one is not an EE because I've got a bunch of those.

Yeah.. It's hard to tell btw leghorn and welsummer.

Oh thanks! The website was making me really cranky. It's very slow on my computer. The web isn't all that fast here anyway..
