Lost the packing slip from Sandhills Preservation.

The first one is the tail-less, I think he is a rooster due to the red comb and the thickness of the feet.

The second picture has a grey bird in the middle that is the same bird in the last picture. I am hoping this is a pullet, but with the rusty breast, I am doubting it, we call it the owl, with the muff, any ideas as to breed?

the third picture down, has a black bird, all over... but does not shine green, blue or purple like Australops that I have had. Any ideas? I am pretty sure they both are pullets.

The fourth picture has a bird I am quite curious about, a game fowl? Seems hard feathered. The black back, speckled head, white underbelly, and when they fly, the outer edge of the wing is white. I have 2, and think they are both pullets?

The 5th I am pretty sure is a Maran cockerel - not a great picture.

bump - take a peak and throw in your ideas! Please

I think the tailless one could be a Buckeye cockerel who hasn't grown tail feathers yet.

Sandhill has their own version of EEs, and I think your owly one is one of those. I also think it's a pullet.

The black one could be an Austrolorp.

As for the black and white one, I see an Ancona in one image. Black/white, yellow speckled legs. Is that the same kind in the background in another image?

I didn't catch the title, sorry. If you got them from Sand Hills Preservation, your solution is easy. Everyone with an NPIP keeps electronic records. They can't ship (legally) to many States without one. Now, because they are a semi-large hatchery, and not hobby chicken breeders like the rest of us, I am certain they are under more scrutiny than the rest of us, they keep more records of transactions. If you contact them with your name, information, date of purchase, they will either be kind enough to provide you with the NPIP which all NPIP holders are required to do on shipping, or at least a bill of sale. This will probably solve your dilemma without a guessing game.

 

[Mrs. K]

Have you ordered from them? I am pretty sure they don't do electronic records, the one I had was carbon copy. But that is good advice, and I will try them.

 

[WratchetMa]

Help ransoms. All bantams I'm told. Help?

 

[WratchetMa]

All so cute but?? What are they
​

 

[Mrs. K]

Truthfully, there are lot more different chickens than I ever thought.

 

[WratchetMa]

So many

Dang I'm still trying to get used to this new format

I do not think your red is a tail less manx rumpy from that pic, nope not tail less, they drop off like they don't even have a butt Lol.
I was thinking probably rhode island red pullet, but then I see someone mention buckeye cockerel, keesmom is probably right on that one, and the black one being a australorp. Only other maybe is black jersey giant. Easy way to tell is giants have yellow bottoms of feet and australorps are pinkish white. And also right most likely on the owl, easter egger SH does have them and it looks exactly like one we had from Meyer hatchery and we called it a owl also Lol!
The others hard to tell, they have so many breeds. And unfortunately maybe, I'm unsure if they are in the assortments without checking up on it but they do some experimental crossing.
