No fluffy cheeks. Green legs. Was black and brown.

For the pictures you posted today, I'm going to go ahead and make some guesses (based on my experience with Ideal EEs and OEs). I'm just going to number them based on your posts from today.

#1 EE
#2 OE
#3 OE
#4 EE
#5 might be black sex link or maybe even one of their newer OEs. She has the coloring of my Onyx OEs
#6 EE

I’m so glad you commented cause I know you have them! I’m surprised at #5 cause I ordered a black sex link but I left the one I thought was it inside. Maybe they sent 2 of those!

Hmm. Do they look similar? I love a fun mystery!

I would be that the two yellow legs are your OEs and 4 green legs are your EEs

No the one I think is a black star is all black and has black and whiteish legs.

Ok you’re the second one to say that! I think you guys might be right!

Editing to add, THIRD person to say that. I just looked at WingItRanch’s comment again and it says yellow legs are OEs.

I feel good about keeping those now!

I will only have 1-2 brown leghorns so hopefully they do ok. I’m adding another 45 sqft to my run this weekend so I’ll have about 160 sqft for 9 chickens. Hoping that’s enough for the couple of birds that like to fly around. I do let them out to run the big yard when I’m home at night and sometimes in the morning but we have 2 dogs that would have them for dinner if they got the chance. I’m fearful they’ll fly over the fence and the dogs will get their chance so I don’t let them free range longer than an hour a day.

I spent a lot of time training my dogs so they'd be good around the chickens.2 years from start to finish but it was worth it
