Rhodebars
Legbars
Black/Blue Copper Marans
Cochin
Brahma
Barred Rock

1. I'm guessing Black Cochin pullet


2. Silver Sussex Roo?


3. Silver Sussex Pullet



4. ? Pullet


5. Right: ? Pullet


6. Right: ? Pullet

7. Right: ? Pullet


8. Blue/Black Copper Maran?


9. Blue/Black Copper Maran?


10. ? Pullet

1. I'm guessing Black Cochin pullet. I agree.


2. Silver Sussex Roo? Roo, absolutely...probably Silver Sussex, not familiar with that particular breed


3. Silver Sussex Pullet Agree pullet...probably Silver Sussex...again not familiar



4. ? Pullet This looks to be a Patridge Rock pullet to me


5. Right: ? Pullet Pullet...another Partridge Rock or Welsummer (?)


6. Right: ? Pullet Yes, Pullet...and another Patridge Rock

7. Right: ? Pullet Another Partridge Rock pullet


8. Blue/Black Copper Maran? Probably Black Marans...probably pullet...my roo had huge comb by 5 weeks


9. Blue/Black Copper Maran? Hard to tell color tone from camera...may be your Blue if that is more of a steel grey than black Marans...another girl likely


10. ? Pullet Yes pullet



11. ? Roo Not much comb for a roo...Legbars and Rhodebars are autosexing by color


12.? Speckled Sussex? Roo. Yes Roo...possibly Speckled Sussex even though leg color is yellow instead of pink/beige...might be a Partridge Rock roo?



13. ? Roo My guess would be Partridge Rock roo

14. Rhodebar? Cream Legbar? Pullet? My guess would be Rhodebar as Legbar have crests


15. Rhodebar? Cream Legbar? Pullet? Ditto



My guesses. Others will be much better with the Rhodebars and Silver Sussex and Legbars...I haven't had those breeds/varities yet.

MMMM I don't see many that could be a sussex due to yellow legs and feathered shanks. Sussex have clean white/ pinkish shanks and single combs. Brahmas have feathered yellow shanks and a pea comb. Cochins have feathered shanks mostly yellow but depeands on color of bird and a single comb. Rocks have clean yellow shanks and single combs. Didn't see any barred rocks. Marans can have or not be feathered shank with single combs and shank color on black or blue should be grey. Legbar and rhodebars have clean yellow shanks and single combs. Don't know how much this helps you, but I hope it helps some.
