I know I'm right about the Dominiques, but which are the Cuckoo Marans and which are the Barred Plymouth Rocks? They are just hatchery stock, so I know they are not good quality, but they are lovely to have none the less. Thanks!
Breed #1
Pullet and cockerel @ 17 weeks
Just the pullet @ 15 weeks
Just the cockerel @ 15 weeks
Breed #2
Pullet @ 15 weeks
Another pullet @ 15 weeks (at 21 weeks she started laying light brown eggs)
Just for the record here's what I've been calling my Dominiques (these were easy to tell)
Breed #3
I'm now pretty sure that Breed #1 are Marans and Breed #2 are Plymouth Rocks, cuckoo and barred patterning respectively. (I had them inverted before, for some reason). What on earth possessed me to get three barred breeds?
Can you confirm this?
