Help! What kinds of chickens are these two?

[blondizsmilz]

I got them from Atwood's a few months ago and these two totally befuddle me. I'm on a mission to find out. They are the goofiest little girls ever. They have grey feet, five toes. Goldy the Buff Orpington has her but in the picture! Can anyone give me any ideas?

i only see 4 toes...the bigger one looks to have a beard and green/slate legs making it an easter egger and the looks like it is a golden phoenix both are pullets

Interesting. I noticed your fence. I wanted to get some of that stuff to use, but I was scared. How long have you used it and how good is it?

oh and that is not a buff orp that is a red sex link

Thank you Flock Master! You are awesome! We did find out they came from the Amish farms in Yoder. I have it on high authority that you are so correct about the two! Gabi is an Easter Egger and Star is a Brown Breasted Red Phoenix Hen. Thanks so much!

Hi Mister B,
It is a safety fence playpen for my young pullets who are now 3 months old. My hubby built it as a temp fix until he can build something else. We've been using it for about 3 weeks now. They are only in it while I am home and during the day. We used a roll of safety fence, 9 6ft fence posts, zip ties to secure the fence to the fence posts and left one loose for the "gate". (total cost $28.00). I am thinking we need some sort of garden stake to secure the fence to the ground as I am sure they will figure out they can go under it at some point. I'm also wondering what is going to happen when they figure out they can fly over it. So it is only a temporary playpen. My husband is working on making an addition to the run and coop we already have.
