Hello, only have 3 hens that I can't figure out their breed, and they are all the same. They came as part of McMurrays Ornamental Layer assortment. I have 1 photo of one of them at 4 weeks, and then 2 current photos (8 weeks).

To offer as much info as possible: they are more skitish than the other birds, flighty - they can fly amazingly well, and are very fast; they are small (compared to my Cochins, which I realize are large), similar in size to my polish of the same age; and are striped silver down their necks.

Any more info I can provide? Anyone have an idea? Thanks in advance for any help!!
