Bought 25 mixed brown layers from a hatchery. I'm rather new to chickens...only 3years...and only blk Australorps. Since my primary objective is eggs for consumption and sale I only got these for a little variety on our lil farm but now would really like to know what they all are. Was guaranteed at least 5 different breeds and that's what we got. Pullets are now about 10 weeks old. Pure white ones I assume are leghorns but the others...?
The first image shows one of the larger brown birds. 2nd photo shows one of the smaller brown birds. Smaller birds have some white feathers. Larger bids have some black feathers.
Have 2 other similar birds shown in photo 1 and 3. The first photo shows a more reddish coloration - the 3rd photo shows similar bird but more black in color.
