I was told the one in the first picture is a Black Sex Link and the one in the middle picture (with the cute white earlobes) is a Blue Leghorn. Would you agree?
The first chicken is a goldenlaced Wyandotte. Black sexlinks are black with gold coming through its feathers around the chest and back. The second picture is a brown leghorn. There's no blue coloring in her. Both are wonderful laying hens in my opinion.
Thank you! They've had 4 days to settle in now, and I'm wondering why no eggs? My Gold Sex Link is still laying every day. The two new girls - Roadrunner (the Brown Leghorn), and Speckles (the Gold Laced Wyandotte), show no signs of laying. I think the Wyandotte might still be young, as her comb is not very developed, but the Leghorn sure has a nice comb and wattles! Am I wrong about the ages? These girls were from Craig's List, and the owner couldn't tell me much about them.
Your wyandotte's comb will not get much bigger. It is a rose comb- great for cold hardy chickens (less chance of frost bite). Give 'em a week or two to adjust, they will lay.
