I've got a few unsure breeds.

When I look at the difference in similar colored drakes, i look at the green, purple, blue, ect... wing feather.

Here is Luna, shes an ameraucana that lays medium, rounded, baby blue eggs. Our other ameraucanas lay skinny ish greener eggs. Its easy to tell who lays what.

She looks like the tan one with the duck, shes molting right now, so shes not real pretty, but shes very sweet and easy to handle.

Someone said the "hawklike" ones are Easter Eggers, but some of you say Ameraucana :eek: I don't know anymore!
I know that whatever they are should be laying green/blue eggs at the very least.


Oh, Off White does look like a Red Pyle Old English Game Hen. But she's so small, like the smallest chicken I've ever seen. So tiny. I've never put her on a scale, but now I'm curious.

Rouen or Mallard is my guess, honestly, but the feathers are so much more shiny and iridescent than the ones at the park. They aren't just shiny, they can be purple, green, blue or in between just the way the light catches them, not like the ones at the lake which were just about always green.

Silver Campines are probably more common, so I'll stick with that.

The leghorns probably are the Brown Leghorns, they match it better since they have a single comb, not a Rose Comb like they aught to if that's what they were,

I'm also guessing Cayuga, but what would the difference be in the Indie Bantam besides size? She's already quaking as much as my other female, so I'm also guessing female.

Yeah, Creme Brulee doesn't look like any common chicken I've seen before, but I'm still new to this.

I think I've given up on finding an exact match to Fluff Butt, but that's okay.

The thing that throws me off about Snowball is the little black dots she's got.

Thanks for the help!

Yep, I've read that, Rouens were bred to not fly away on migration and for meat.

@Anyone

What age do Ameraucanas generally start laying? 6 months or so?
 
can't help with the chickens but....

The "mallard" duck may also be a call duck. I have two that color myself. They are smaller than a mallard. Call ducks can fly. Roens cannot.

If the black duck has a blue or green hue on the wings or head and can NOT fly it's probably a cayuga. They can be the size of a pekin. The hues will be visible in sunlight when they are around 10 weeks old. My females are VERY loud, even surpassing my pekins. We don't need a permit for mallards or call ducks but the hawks get them too often :-( the black Indies can fly and are much smaller around 2-4 lbs.
 
The black duck does have blue/green hues on both, they are shiny. I don't think it is a call, it is too big. It's the size of my mallard female right now and still growing. By the vocalizations , I'm going to call it a her.

Off White was weighed in at 425g or .936 LBs
 
Yeah, dont doubt yourself on the off white, its positivel an old english.

As for the "mallard" it doesnt llook like any breed in my book. I need a pic of his head.

The black duck is almost a positive cayuga, east indies are more stalky and would be smaller than that there ameraucana.

Fluff butt looks like a bantie cochin. Its the only possible breed

Creme brulee could be a bantam nankin or maybe a catalana, depending on size

Oh no, I'm not doubting that, I'm just shocked at her small stature. She grew from a chick and then feathered out and stopped growing when the others kept it up.

Creme Brulee is not much bigger then Off White,maybe 1/2 or 1/3 bigger.
