Hi. Just got my new 2nd bunch from Mypetchicken. EXCITING mix

[Sandytheegglady]

My 8 ladies were a mixed bunch and I was excited to see that 2 of the 8 were Egyptian Fayoumi that originated from Cairo Egypt. They look exactly like the picture when I put in that name. I also have a golden laced Wyandotte. but I am still guessing about the others. One looks like an Easter-egger with pretty brown feathers but golden feathers on her neck area. One is a mottled grey feathered lady that may be a Cochin. One is a White feathered with a small streak of black feathers on her back but with Grey legs & feet. One appears to be a Asa Brown. and one is a very spotted black & white feathered girl...not B&W markings like barred Plymouth rock.
Attached are 2 pictures. one with several including my Egyptians and the Grey feathered beauty and the other picture with the Mystery white chicken with grey legs and my Black & White speckled baby. Thanks for any help

the one with the brown feathers is definitely an easter egger, and the reddish one is 100% asa brown. the black one might be an ancona, and the white one looks like a mixed breed

Thanks, for your help. I have Ancona on my list of possibilities when I compared the pictures that MPC have on their site. The white with the black streak on her back may be a Delaware or part Delaware. But she does have dark grey legs/feet. the grey one we thought might be a mottled cochin. Her baby picture is my Avatar. Have attached another picture of all of them.

If the brown one has a single comb it could be a Welsummer ,EE if pea comb,the black one is an Ancona, the white could be an Austra white? and the grey if it has a single comb and clean legs ,could be a Swedish Flower Hen (markings just like my 8 week old!) The Wyandotte looks like a Blue Laced Red.
Then again I could be completely wrong lol!
Very pretty flock

Just curious, is the chicken in the back the one you're calling a Wyandotte? She looks like my Welsummer ladies!

Two Fayoumis, a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte, Austra White, Mottled Ancona, and thinking Light Brown Leghorn due to body type, could be a Welsummer. Check earlobes! Grey mottled one Swedish Flower Hen, assuming it has clean legs

The white one with a little black could be a california white. Not sure if that's the same thing as an Austra white but...

I just figured out the difference a few days ago! California Whites are White Leghorns and California Greys mixed together. They should have yellow legs and lay white eggs. Austra Whites are a mix between White Leghorn and Black Australorp. This mix has slate legs and lay off-white eggs. My Pet Chicken only carries Austra Whites! This is how I understand the difference anyways, took me so long to realize they weren't interchangeable!

Thanks for the info!!! Nice to learn something new every day!

Thanks to all of you...The white one with a few black streak of feathers must be an Austra White as she does have slate grey legs. the one in the back with the golden neck feathers, I am hoping is an EasterEgger. The dark one on the far right I think is an golden laced Wyandotte as her feathers are all tipped with gold. The speckled Black & white we think is the Ancona. All of these girls have clean legs...no frizzles! The mottled grey one, as a chick, is pictured as my Avatar. I had sent that picture to MPC and they could not answer what breed she was. A friend thought she was a Mottled Cochin.
