New hen identification

[cjotjr25]

Hello. I was given these three hens because a man needed to downsize. Unfortunately he didn’t know what breeds. The white one in the background is my old, I know what she is. I’m thinking maybe the brown one with the puffy “cheeks” is an Easter Eggers. Also the black and white one a Wyandotte.They haven’t laid any eggs yet so not sure how often and the color of their eggs. Any help would be appreciated

You have a Silver Laced Wyandotte, a Saphire Gem and an Easter Egger. You'll get a brown egg from the SLW and either blue, green or brown from the two hybrids.

Looks like a White Leghorn, 1 EE, an Andalusian, & a Silver Laced Wyandotte.

Wyandotte lays brown eggs.

Leghorn lays white eggs

EE, any color per bird.

Andalusian lays white eggs.

(Or is the white one yours originally?)

That one looks exactly like my Sapphire Blue Plymouth Rocks that I bought from the hatchery.

Andalusians have white ears. I believe the OP has a Saphire Gem there as the bird does not have white ears.

That's because it is also a 'Saphire Gem' AKA 'Blue Plymouth Rock'. It's a hybrid and a beautiful one at that!

Zoom into the bird, it has a white spot on the earlobe?

Too heavy-bodied to be an andalusian. I'm guessing sapphire gem.

Wow, those are beautiful birds! Those Silver Laced Wyandottes are so striking.

Just call it a mix or come up with your own name, back then chicken breed wasnt as many as nowadays. I have a big book about a chicken breed it was a bit old, some of the breed mentioned in this web wasn't there, not to mention the unrecognized breed on the rural or secluded place, so the newest book probably even bigger.
I want to pet chicken for fun not to become a chicken taxonomist, but well, if you are a fellow pure breed fan.
Well, it looks like you can come up with your own breed if your chicken have a distict characteristic, popular among people and gain a recognition, but it need some fortune and a bit, i mean lot of time. So i wont try or mind it that much.
Or you can upgrade your tools, become a genetict scientis and make a hybrid, then you need to wait, the next day people will group up and bring no GMO sign all over your place.
Ehm..,sorry i got carried away.
