Mystery chickens - breed and sex

[swtbtrcup]

Ameracauna's.... I think all are pullets. Im wondering if they are really Ameracauna's or another breed. One is black with gold laced feathers, gray/black and white, mostly yellow and brown, reddish color

Not sure what she is. I cant remember if I got her with the ameracauna's or at TSC. She is orange/red with bluish color on her neck. She is very sweet and docile.

These 3 are cochins. Im wondering what color they are. (There are other chickens in the picture with them) I am thinking either all blue's or maybe 2 blue's and a lavender? All 3 are varied shades of the blue/gray.

Thanks
Carol

The black and red one the cute little girl is holding looks pretty Dark Cornish to me.

Yes, the little girl is holding a dark cornish. I have 2.

Side pics of the birds standing naturally would be best to show colors, stance, wing/tail carriage, and build. The one with laced feathers looks like a dark Cornish. It looks like you might have some Easter Eggers and the Cochins look more like Cochin crosses. They aren't carrying the heavy leg/foot feathering or "poofiness" of purebred Cochins. Still looks like a nice little rainbow flock.

Thanks. I know I've seen other chickens that look like her. Only thing I noticed is she seems to have longer legs than the pics I've seen of dark cornish hens.

Picture taking doesnt work well with 2 little girls assisting haha. I will probably take more when I can keep them out of the pen.

They are a pretty laid back group of chickens so I am happy with them. My silkie roo thinks he is Mr. Studmuffin and runs the entire pen.

Most "Ameracaunas" are actually Easter Egger mutts

I found that out after I got my 3. Mine all look completely different from each other, but they are all love bugs

I got them so the girls could have pretty eggs. Luckily all appear to be girls so I dont have to worry about mixing.

I can't wait until I see the colored eggs my 2 EE pullets lay ! I also have an EE roo, just in case I want some more chicks that lay pretty eggs

I cant wait for mine to start laying.
