Help identifying free hens

[gavinh]

hi everyone. I was gifted 3 hens by a lady local to me who could no longer have them but I don't know what breed 2 of them are. One is a bantam that I think is a old English game, maybe. And the other is a jubilee Cornish I think. Any help is much appreciated.

White Laced Red Cornish on the first, definitely. As for the other, am I seeing slate legs? Slate = Dutch bantam, and pink = Old English Game bantam. Earlobes are a little whitish, too, which could also indicate Dutch.

It's tough to say on the second one. To me it looks like maybe the type of OEGB they have in Australia or NZ. It's definitely not typical of an American OEGB. It could be a cross, too. Its body looks similar to the body of the Cornish.

I agree with Jed Jackson on the second one.

Maybe the 2nd one is a crossbred?
