More help please

I am unsure of the breed and gender of these two. I think the dark one is a Plymouth Rock pullet and the white one I have no idea on the breed but think it is a pullet as well. Also, do ALL males have the "flowing" tail feathers??

That's some pretty poor barring, I'd assume she's a mix, not a pure Rock.

The white one though is a White Rock.



Love the crele in the background!

I would agree with Illia

Is the white rock a pullet and is it just a white rhode island red or is that the breed??

Also, I was under the impression that the one you called a crele was a wyandotte.

 

[mekaboyer]

Also, is this a rhode island red??

No Not a RIR, looks more like a Buff Sussex from that picture I think.

 

[mekaboyer]

I'll try to get some better pictures maybe tomorrow.

I love the "barring" on your BR-cross! Maybe there's a spangled something in the mix? As for its and the white rock's sex, I think they're pullets with manly faces. Sometimes hens can have huge combs/wattles.
Maybe your RIR's an EE? Your Wyandotte looks like half-EE to me too. Are those green legs?

Looks like my new hampshires. Rhode Island Reds are much darker.

Nope, the one I called Crele is, well, Crele is a color. But she's not a Wyandotte. Wyandottes have rose combs.

And no, that last girl shown is not a Rhode Island Red. Rhode Island Reds are a dark, bloody, almost blackened red color.


The white one is indeed a White Rock. There are Rhode Island Whites out there but they're very rare, not offered by hatcheries, and have rose combs.



PS - The OP does not have a Wyandotte or a BR cross, people.
