Or not. Now that I look at the pics side by side they really don't look anything like each other.

You're probably right - their eyes look just like my sexlinks/black stars eyes.

DCS - check the front breast feathers of those two chickens and see if there's any brown at all in them. If there is, then they are definitely the sexlinks & not the austrolorps or black giants. The sexlinks/black stars will still have that pretty green sheen to their feathers.

May I just reiterate that you guys are awesome!

I will go out in the morning and look for any brown on the black ones. Black stars would be great! I hear they're good layers, and these 3 seem nice.

And the big questionable guy (#11) is significantly bigger than anyof the roo EEs. A LOT bigger. And he definitely has yellow legs, if that matters.

And I am surprised that the RIR is so scrawny compared to the others... he's a lot smaller. Roo, right?

Will also try what color skin the possible NH has. (It's dark now, and the coop has no electricity.)

Favorelle? Will have to look that up. She's striking, whatever she is. (Green legs for that one too)!

Faverolles have 5 toes on each foot.

I don't have any personal experience with new hampshires, but when I just now googled 'new hampshire chickens skin coloring', everything came up saying their skin is yellow, including wikiepeda.

Might be time to get a new book. In the Standard of Perfection as well as online sources, the skin color is described as yellow.
