this is the rooster- sorry its so small

and one of the hens

and the other hen

if anyone can tell the breeds and if they may be broody hens please let me know!!!

Sorry, can't see the rooster. You have a Barred Plymouth Rock and an Easter Egger hen; though neither is known for being especially broody, I have one friend with a Barred Rock and another with an Easter Egger who go broody from time to time.

 

[lilsouthern228]

well which one is which?

 

[Chirpy]

The Barred Rock is the black and white one.

Sounds like you could use this link. It has excellent pictures of almost any breed on the planet:

the small picture is of a leghorn rooster. If it's a hen, it has the largest comb/wattles I've ever seen on a hen.

yeah that website had some pics of easter egg pullets that look jus like my hens. why are they called easter egg pullets?

 

[lilsouthern228]

seedcorn. im almost 100 percent positive that is a rooster! lol he crows all the time and if you get close to the hens he charges you.
rooster behavior?

They are a mutt. A mixed breed chicken that carried the Araucana/Americauna gene for the blue egg which combined with the brown egg shell color lets them lay blue, green, pinkish etc lightly colored eggs - i.e. easter eggs.

That would indeed be rooster behavior.

I agree. White leg horn rooster. Barred Rock. Easter Eggers.
