just got two chickens no idea what they are.

[heartagramtc]

So we acquired two chickens from one of my family members who lives in the city. We have no clue what they are, all i know is they were little chicks around Easter time so they are over two-three months old. We currently have them separated from our flock in a side pen that we had for the ducks, which is just a wire mesh separating them so they can get acquainted.

these are the best pics i could get at the time, they are a bit skittish so its hard to get close to them. If you need better pics to see what they are let me know and i will take the SLR out and try to get some better shots.

#1 Speckled Sussex cross, I think. Looks like an Easter Egger Speckled Sussex????

I don't know the other.

I really don't know...just tried to guess from what the mix looks like...pretty sure it is a mix.

Very beautiful chicken!

I thought at first the #1 chicken was a Speckled Sussex but its feet and legs aren't white. I won't be any good at these! Maybe the Silver one is an OEGB?

I don't think it's a speckled sussex, it has a beard and yellow feet. the second one is an egyptian fayoumi. I think the first one is a russian orlof

No, after looking at its legs and feet I knew it wasn't that! and I don't know enough about the less common ones to guess, so.... TY frosthazard for teaching me something new today, too!

Russian Orloff and either an Egyptian Fayoumi or a silver Campine

wow that was quick! thank you! do you think they will do well with my other 8 chickens, 1 Astrolorpes, 2 Rhodes, 2 Golden sexlinks, 2 ameraucanas(sp?), 1 Leghorn, and my pair of Welsh Harlequins? all of which are hens except my male duck. their run is 16'x16' with a 4'Hx4'Dx8'D hen house with 5 laying boxes.
