Pullet =) I hope u don't mind but I would like riding out the types of hen and roosters I have. I tried unsuccessfully to start my own thread several times. Someone please tell me what I have they are different from eachother.

This one looks like a New Hampshire to me rather than a production red....black fringe only on tail. Legs aren't quite a true yellow, but could be hatchery quality.

Excellent brown egg layers. Can go broody. Very sweet tempered birds (in my experience). One of my favorite breeds. Dual purpose (meat and egg) so she will get a bit heavier.

For some reason these photos only go to a weird gallery view when I click in so I'm only getting small thumbnails.

Therefore, I can't see their earlobes (at least not the top one's).

If red earlobe...which I think the top bird has...White Rock.

If white earlobe...which I think the bottom bird has...White Leghorn.

BTW....to start your own thread go to the main forum Which Breed Or Gender :https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/15/what-breed-or-gender-is-this

look at the left top side...you'll see the forum title "What Breed or Gender is This?" then below that a blue button that says "Start A New Thread"

Click on that and it will bring open a message box for you to type into. Fill in what you want to say...then scroll down until you see the "Submit" blue button. Usually it's a good idea to "preview" first, to look for any errors (misspellings, goofy sentences)...then submit.

Each forum works the same way.

If you are reading someone's post....go to the top of the thread...There is a blue "post a reply" button but there is also a grey "start a new thread" button that will begin a new thread on that particular forum which the post you were reading is on. HTH

This bird looks like a hatchery quality New Hampshire Red to me. Could be a Production Red, though.

White Plymouth Rock. Beautiful bird!

Looks like a White Leghorn.

The gold hen is a sweetheart, she's already the heaviest, she outweighs same age BR pullets and the older white hen by half what they weigh atleast. The feedstore had them labeled as Buffs and Barred rocks.

Also I went thru the whole posting process, but it never would post,kept getting error code windows.


Leghorn the white hen has large single comb and white/pink legs and feet.. I think hers ears are white she's my flightiest chicken she only comes close when I have feed/bribes or Foghorn lures her over with his little noises.


Here's a side shot of Foghorn.

From photo #2 w she looks to have a pea comb (which NH do not have nor do Sussex).

Also, how old? Photo #2 shows what may be saddle feathers starting (or could just be an odd camera angle as I don't see them in the other photos). (And seriously...photo #2 looks almost like a different bird from the other 2 photos...maybe just the camera angles or my eyes aging...)

From photo #2 I would say almost a mix or possibly Easter Egger (although not enough color really for EE but wrong color for standard Ameraucana) as that photo makes the bird look to have both a pea comb and some muff. If I disregard the muff due to camera angle, but it is a pea comb, I would say possibly a Buckeye (due to pea comb).

If that is a single comb (and my monitor and camera angle is playing tricks) and I look at photos #1 and #3 I would go with possibly New Hampshire or Red Sussex. A bit light and long for that, so maybe production red.

My guesses.

the second picture does look like a different chicken, and she seems to have a saddle......but what does that mean? she is still a baby at 6 months.......if she is a mix will she still lay eggs!?!?!?!

here are some more photos:












hope this helps

She's a hen and she looks to be a mix to me...although not typically the coloring I would think of for an EE, she probably is an Easter Egger as she sure looks to have some tufting on her ears...which means she likely has some Araucana blood somewhere back a generation or two. At 6 months she should be laying or will be very shortly.

Saddle is pointy feathers that cascade down just before the tail. Roosters alone get true saddles but some hens (Buff Orpingtons for example) get quite a nice cushion there too...however hen feathers will be round while male feathers are sharp and spiky looking. She doesn't have a male saddle in these photos.
