New Ladies! What do I have??

[mhegge]

I was told there were Wyandottes, Non Bearded Black Polish, and Crevecoeurs, or maybe mixes. I was thinking the white girls were a type of wyandottes but was unsure of the black girl...

Your black one looks like a Polish to me, because of the little hair. I'm not that experienced, though, so that's just my humble opinion/guess!

Edit: I am definitely wrong! Sorry about that, had no idea Crevecoeur's had the hair, too.

The white ones are Wyandottes and the black is a Crevecoeur.

The white ones are Wyandottes and the black is a Crevecoeur.

That is the one I was really unsure on. So, what tells them apart? Both breeds have that fluffy hair, but beyond that I am unsure.

They're both crested breeds with v-combs. There aren't any solid black Polish. The only off thing on yours is Crevecoeur are supposed to be bearded.

Thank you.

I agree with Keesmom.

There are in fact pure black Polish now but they're not accepted by the Standard. I think your black hen is probably a mix, though, because her face and comb appear dark and that is not a trait of either Crevecoeurs or Polish.

X2 on the all black Polish they exist!

The all white ones are Wyandotte's.

But the black one is most like
