Mixed flock identification help

[corewassen87]

How old is this hen?  Are they fairly easy to tell the difference at an early age?

She's an old bag! Probably about 2. I think they're hard to guess ages once they're past 6 months

Well, that is a bit of a disappointment. Any chance the Maran breeder will trade me out for hens since he did sell them to me as hens or am I just out the $30 on these? I was really looking forward to those chocolate eggs.

Thanks for the help on identifying them. Time to re-home them I suppose.

You can certainly try, though I suspect the "breeder" knew they were cockerels. Same for the other birds you got.

Well, this breeder sells the Marans every month at a local flea market called the Southeast Iowa Pigeon Club Meet. They have a meeting again the 12th so I will take the birds up there with me and hopefully get it taken care of. I have the opportunity to purchase some mix breed laying pullets of various ages and may just re-home these and go that route. Thank you all for the help! Also any idea of what kind of Bantam Flappy is?

Flappy is a Light Brahma bantam.

Can anyone tell me what breed this momma is? Very small comb. Body is smaller than my barred rocks. Thanks

I forgot to also mention she is like a pale gray.

I would say buff orpington, but the picture isnt very clear.

Where is this located specifically? Is there a website? I'm located in SE IA and I'm interested in going to this.
