Hi! I would love some confirmation on my chicken breeds. I’m new to being a chicken momma & many I’ve had to id using Google. 🫣

List of characters:
1) Jolene- Orpington, Cooperative Extension extra (99% confident about this one)
2) Black Betty- Black Copper Marans, Cooperative Extension extra (95% confident)
3) Bearded Lady- Easter Egger? Got from a family member, they said Ameraucana. (85% confident)
4) Ed- Black Copper Marans roo? from a friend (65% confident)
5) Taylor- Barred Plymouth Rock roo, TSC assortment bin (90% confident)
6) Tiny Tim- Brown Leghorn Bantam roo?, TSC assortment bin (65% confident)

The next three are VERY new to me:
7) Susannah- Speckled Ranger?, (85% confident) from a friend who said she was a Plymouth Rock
8) Bernadette- Australorp?, same friend as Clem & Suse said was Australorp. I’m pretty sure she laid a large white egg though
9)Clementine- Easter Egger?, from a friend who said she was an Easter Egger

She’s not a buff Orpington, she’s got the wrong feather color. I’m guessing she’s a Golden Comet or other type of red sex link.
2) Black Betty- Black Copper Marans, Cooperative Extension extra (95% confident)
She looks right for a BCM.
3) Bearded Lady- Easter Egger? Got from a family member, they said Ameraucana. (85% confident)
For sure Easter Egger.
4) Ed- Black Copper Marans roo? from a friend (65% confident)
I think he’s a BCM mix. He’s got the wrong type of comb to be pure. Could be an Olive Egger.
5) Taylor- Barred Plymouth Rock roo, TSC assortment bin (90% confident)
I too think that’s what he is.
6) Tiny Tim- Brown Legbar Bantam roo?, TSC assortment bin (65% confident)
He’s probably a black-breasted red Old English bantam, as they’re far more common.
The next three are VERY new to me:

I’ve never heard of a speckled ranger, but she’s probably just a mixed breed.
8) Bernadette- Australorp?, same friend as Clem & Suse said was Australorp. I’m pretty sure she laid a large white egg though
Also likely a mixed breed, she’s got the wrong comb type to be an Australorp.
9)Clementine- Easter Egger?, from a friend who said she was an Easter Egger
Probably an Easter Egger.

Haha! If you can’t trust the Cooperative Extension office, who can you trust?

Ah! Yeah, his comb always messed me up.
He’s probably a black-breasted red Old English bantam, as they’re far more common.
Okay, thanks! When he was a chick he was very brown with patterned wings & stripes down his back. We called him our little chipmunk :) I posted another picture of him, I think he is so beautiful 😍

“I’ve never heard of a speckled ranger, but she’s probably just a mixed breed.”

I think they are also called a Speckledy. I found a picture online & she looks very similar to my untrained eye. Online says a cross between a RIR & Marans? Also they lay large speckled chocolate brown eggs, which she does.

But who knows! I haven’t been very accurate with Google so far 😂

Thanks so much for replying!
