Don’t laugh, but when we bought our baby chicks we thought we were getting 2 breeds, maybe 3 at the most. Now it seems of our merry band of 13 that we have at least 5 types. Can someone help me identify?

The ones with the white ears, 3rd and 4th pictures are the only ones laying (tiny) eggs which is surprising since they are the smallest.

You have gorgeous birds!
The rooster and the bearded hens are Easter eggers. Absolutely lovely!

The white earlobed hens are brown leghorns.

The black ones are most likely Black Australorp.


You will have a wonderful looking basket of eggs when everyone laying.

The one's with the beard/muffs are Easter eggers, The one's with the white earlobes are brown leghorns, And the all brown ones are looking like new rhode islands and new hampshires. (the one brown one with black looks the the hampshire and the completely brown one is a Rhode island) And the black one is either a jersey giant or Australorp. Check under it's feet.. Yellow = Jersey giant pink/white = austra

Oooohhhhh I missed your non bearded red hen. She looks like maybe a production red or even a new Hampshire red.
Not familiar enough with red birds to say for sure.

You rooster and a lot of those girls look like either ameracauna or easter eggers. They have the beards and the grey/black or green legs.

Not the black hen with gray legs though.

Im not sure about the rest. What color are the eggs your hens are laying(of the ones that lay)

The 6th picture, with the yellowish neck feathers, what do you think those are?
