Name this Chicken

[AMont17]

New to chickens and I only had silkies before I got these 2 — I got them a few months ago and I thought I put the breed in my notes but I can’t find it now. White is a Roo (he just started crowing) & I’m not sure the breed or gender of the Brown. Thanks for the help!

The white bird is an Easter Egger cockerel the brown looks like a brown leghorn pullet.

The brown looks just like my easter egger hen.

Your cockerel is an Easter Egger and your brown one is a Bielefelder (I think) pullet/hen.

I'm pretty sure EEs have darker legs.

I agree that the white one is an Easter egger cockerel. The brown one is an Legbar/Welsumer olive egger female.

Thank you! I thought one of them was an Easter egger. He is a quirky guy. He used to “charge” at my husband and I until I realized he wasn’t being aggressive, he just wanted some attention and pets. Are Easter eggers known to be this friendly?

Yes, Bielefelder fits even better than olive egger. I agree.

Brown leghorns do not have this pattern, nor this body shape. The ear lobe color is also incorrect
