Hi all,
I ordered a mix and match bundle of chicks from McMurrays about four months ago, and there are a few breeds that I still can't figure out. What do you guys think?

#1

.
#2.

.
#3

male version of #3 (oops McMurray ;-))


#4.


#5 haven't got a good shot of this lady grown-up, but it looks like she's growing a beard. Yikes!


Any help is appreciated.

#4 i now is a barred rock
#5 i think is either an americuana or eater egger
#3I think they may be dorkings
hope this helps

Could you get a full body picture of the #3 chickens? They can't be Dorkings because of the earlobe color but a possibility is either Phoenix or Silver Leghorn. Phoenixes have longer tails than Leghorns and are also a bit more lean and longer looking on the body Here are some links to help as well:

I'm mostly with Veer--my first thought on the first bird was campine, though. I guess they have straight combs, and the Hamburgs have rose combs?

I can't see the barred bird's comb well enough to tell if it's a rock or a Dominique.

#4 Is could be either a barred rock or a dominueq but I a positive that it is a barred rock

Yep Campines have rosecombs, I thought Campine first as well. I would say Dominique for the barred hen because from what I can see the comb is flat looking which probably means a rosecomb.

I thought silver phoenix on 3 and 4 (at 4 months old one would think that leghorns would have bigger combs)

agree with every one, mainly with veer.

I didn't think of that. Do phoenix have white earlobes also? That's why I went with leghorn.
