I’m Wondering What My Rescue Hens May be 🤔Please take a look!

[ChickaChickaChooCho000]

I’m wondering if anyone might know the breed of these two chickens I have been raising.

My orange hen is about 4-5years now, is small like a bantam so I thought she could be a mix of a buff Orpington and a bantam of some sort but she has black streams around her neck and blackish tail so I’m not sure what she truly is. She’s definitely nice and not afraid of people, so that kind of resembles an orp.

And for my second hen, I recently got her in July and she hasn't laid one egg that I’ve seen yet. But now that her comb and earlobes are turning more red and I’ve recently been seeing a light brown egg in the next box, I think she might have just started laying! That must mean she’s probably just about 6-9 months old. I think she might be a White Orpington because she isn’t a leghorn or a Cornish or meat chicken. I thought either a white Orpington or a white Wyandotte but Wyandotte’s have rose or pea combs and mine doesn’t so most likely might be an Orpington?

Let me know what you guys think!

The buff one is an Orpington mix, maybe part Cochin?
The white one is a white Plymouth Rock.
I don't know the last one.

The white is not a white Plymouth rock.
If you rescued her from a meat bird house, she maybe is a Bresse or Bresse mix? Blue/slate legs, round body, white feathers...
I’m probably kidding myself, but she’s definitely not a Rock, at least.

Thanks! The last one is just a black sex link hen, she was my first. I didn’t know she’d be a white Rock! She’s large! I’m not sure my buff bantam is part Cochin though because she has no feathered feet.

I think that your buff one could be an orp mix. The white one might be a white jersey giant? That’s what came to my mind.

Because of those reasons that you’ve listed I don’t think that the first one would have Cochin and second white rock.

She isn’t actually a white rock....they have yellow legs and a diff body type.
She may have some in her tho.
She’s maybe a meat hybrid?

I’m not familiar with this breed but if what you’re describing it to be is right then it sounds promising.

The buff one looks like some form of red sex link to me. IDK on white. Where did you get them?

She seems to be missing the white center on her earlobes.
But if she’s a meat bird they weren’t breeding for quality.
I just know Bresse are a famed meat breed.
