Howdy from East Tennessee!

Good afternoon, y'all!

I'm new to BYC (but have checked out a LOT of information on the site before signing up)!

This is my first year with chickens, but I've slowly acquired quite a flock!

I have:

- 3 Buff Orpington hens
- 1 Orpington rooster
- 3 Orpington chicks (sex not determined yet, but I believe 1 is a roo and 2 are hens)

- 2 Red Sexlink hens (lost one to bronchitis earlier this year)

- 2 Barred Rock hens
- 1 Wyandotte

...and 2 hens that are EITHER Araucanas OR Americaunas. How do you tell the difference? My uncle gave these 2 to me (he has too many and has raised chickens for decades) so I know they came from a good source. He said they're Araucanas, but after looking at the pictures on BYC, I can't tell.

Either way - I LOVE my chickens and am excited to have joined your online flock! Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Howdy from College Station, Texas. I don't know how to tell the difference, but we've got several Ameraucanas (or Easter Eggers) and some EE mixes. Our rooster is an Orpington and he does some of the mixing.

you could post some clear pictures on "what gender or breed is this," and see what the response is.
