A "breeder" gave me these chickens in exchange for a couple dozen eggs. She assured me they were all pullets, bantams and purebred. I lost my cell with her contact # so I can't get back to her to ask what I got. They don't seem to be pullets either Of course out of the 4 pullets, 3 are really cockerels ;-) I haven't been able to identify them and our county fair is in 2 weeks. I would like to know what we have so we (our sons are in 4-H) can enter them in the correct divisions. The bird in the foreground I thought was a pullet, but spurs are developing. She has a single comb. This cockerel has the odd comb and his feathering is more golden than silver - picture not so good. FYI - the divisions are: Standard Poultry (Large Fowl) - American Class, Asiatic Class, English Class, Mediterranean Class, Continental Class and All Other Standard Class. Then of course we have Bantam - Clean Legged/Single Comb, Clean Legged/Rose Comb, Clean Legged/Other Combs, Father Legged/Single Combs, Feather Legged/All Other Combs and finally Game Bantams. The Black Birds both have heavy feathered legs. 1 Has a single comb, the other has an odd comb, more like a rose, but not quite. Both have Golden lacing around the neck and back. One more so than the other. At first I was pretty sure the one was a pullet, but I see small spurs developing. The two white birds have a small amount of black ticking throughout and heavily feathered legs. One is DEFINITELY a pullet, the other a cockerel. I can try to get batter pictures tomorrow, close ups if anyone wants clearer shots for a more definitive ID. Thanks so much for any ideas. FYI - the Black Cockerels are rather aggressive. Unless they are something special they are getting sold at the fair
The two whites could be cochins one hen and one roo. the black roo in the middle not sure could be mix. The black roo at the end is a mix
