At this point, they look like pullets, but what age are they?

The yellow one is about 6 weeks and the Sussex is about 4-5.

That's what I wanted to hear! Lol Thank you!!

Looking like pullets! Any idea what breed the yellow one is? She's so pretty!

No, I wish I knew! I named her pebbles ❤

She looks a little like a Buff Barred Bantam Cochin, but not quite, and doesn't have that fluff on the belly/legs. I think you can breed buff barred by crossing a barred roo x a buff hen. So maybe she's a mix of some plymouth rocks and orpingtons or something!

Adorable name! Maybe you should make a post in 'what breed or gender is this'. Might be helpful, some people are super knowledgeable and could know! I've never seen one that looked like her.

Thanks! I'm still learning how to work this site, I actually thought that was where I had posted this

Oh! Sorry! It actually is, I didn't see that! But maybe you could make a post exclusively about her breed? It would be really cool to find out!
