My name is Chicken Little...but what am I?

[PurplePalace]

I have named this little pullet (hopefully) Chicken Little. She is the littlest of my flock and I have no clue what she is....really I have no clue about all of them. I bought CL from a "breeder" but I can't remember for the life of me what he said she is. I also don't quite understand why she's not growing like the rest. The rest of the flock were bought from a store. Any information about these hopeful ladies (age,breed,sex(maybe?)) would be helpful.

it is probably bantam and will always be smaller...sorry I don't know the breed.

Fuzzy cheeks and what looks to be a pea comb, those Re good indicators of an Easter egger

I'm guessing EE bantam

 

[PurplePalace]

After doing some searching of pictures I believe that's what she is as well. I also do agree that she may be a bantam. I guess time will tell. I am still clueless about the others? I am so very new at this. :/

I think your red ones might be production reds

Your red chicks are probably production reds. Chicken Little is an EE bantam, and it is possible that the striped chicks are EE large-fowl. Or they could be Light Brown Leghorns or Welsummers; those breeds look very similar as chicks.

Are these all good egg layers? Also is there any way to tell their age? I have been doing a lot of searching and I am trying to figure out if I can age them by their feathers?

She looks about three weeks. I believe EE bantams give about 1-3 small eggs a week

The 2 chipmunk ones look like they are Speckled Sussex. Their legs/feet look to be pink not yellow like a Welsummer.
