mystery chickens

[0die]

Had these girls for about a year and a half. Don't recall what they are and can't find my notes when I got them...

I believe one is a Golden Laced Cochin. it has fuzzy feet.

the three white ones...all have some black around the neck and tail.

One large white bird has feathers on the feet. The other large white and small white birds have none.

6 pictures total but only 4 birds.

Pic 2 and 3 are Buff Brahma, #5 might be a delaware.

I am thinking Brahma, feathers on feet help ID that. The other black and white either a delaware. (I had two of those) or possibly Columbian Barred rock, very similar I believe.

True true. Have to examine every detail.

cool...sounds like the goldie mystery is solved.

Brahma sounds "familiar"...it's been over a year. Buff/Light/standard? what's the differences? color?

Sussex also sounds "familiar" the large white with bear feet?

 

[Gray Farms]

Buff and Light Brahmas are different patterns.

Standard indicates they are large breed not bantams.

Yes the Sussex is the larger mostly white one with the white clean legs.

I google images of Sussex and Delaware...

the big white chicken in picture #6 looks like either one? Is there something tell tale that I can clue in on?

Delawares have barring in their black hackles and tail feathers. They also have yellow legs.

Light Sussex do not have barring. And they have white legs.
