New Chickens

[Suzz]

I think you are right about the breeds. How old are they?

Im not sure 4 to 6 months I think the Brahma is younger because she was the smallest when I got her and they are supposed to be the biggest chickens they are doing fine with the adult hens they have plenty of places to hide themselves in my coop and run

Brahmas grow slowly, so other chicken breeds tend to be bigger when they are at the half-grown stage. The Brahmas usually do come out biggest in the end, they just take a long time getting there!

Do any of you know what this is? It has a pea comb and clean legs.

I hatched 4 of them but I don't know of any chicken that has that coloring when they are full size.

It might be a Buckeye. They can show various bits of color when young, but grow up to be a fairly even red color with a black tail. They have pea combs and clean legs.

What color egg did it come from? If it came from a blue or green egg, it is probably an Easter Egger. Easter Eggers can have any appearance. It is common for them to have pea combs and multi-colored feather patterns, although it is somewhat rare to find very many that look alike in a given clutch.

That is a very good question.
Not green or blue.

Then I think Buckeye is most likely.

That's what I thought but I wanted a second opinion.

All of you have beautiful birds!! Here are some of my newer birds!

White crested black polish, lavender orpingtons, silver spitzhaubens, sapphire splashes, buff orpington ducks, white pekins, and welsh harlequins!

(All of them look a lot older now since it’s been about a week since these photos, and you know how fast they grow!)

My new orpingtons. 2 lavender and 1 partridge they weren’t used to human attention at their previous home so it’s a work in progress but they’ve started eating from my hand now

They’re beautiful!
