New and wondering...

[lori_smith99]

Hi all!! I am wondering a few things about my babies. These are about 10-12 wks old, bought at TS, and here is what I was told:

The golden one - Hen/ Welsummer/Barred Rock mix
The black one- Hen(?)/ Black Copper Maran
The 2 gray- Hen/ Cream Legbar

I am not sure that any of this is correct. ????

Any help would be appreciated

The black is a Black Copper Marans cockerel. (Male less than a year old)

Are both blues the same age? If so, the smaller one is a pullet (female less than a year old) and the larger one is a cockerel. Seeing legs helps with a breed ID. I can't see barring on the larger one, but the most common blue chicken they carry are blue sexlinks called Sapphire Gems.

Does the one gold-ish one have a beard? If so, she's some sort of Egger. The other gold-ish one appears to be a Welbar. Which actually isn't a Welsummer/Barred Rock cross.

Also, welcome to BYC!

Thank you! The gold one is the same chick in both pics. No beard. I just got new babies from an actual breeder and I got an Egger and she has a little beard
So pretty much TS was completely off lol. I love the breeder I found locally right down the road, I am going to stick with him.
These are the newbies...all 2 wks old except for the Egg (the yellow one) she is 4 wks old.
