This is a picture post to carry on from my introduction post, It was suggested that I post the hens in question here instead of introduction post feed. Long story short I bought several hens from a couple of people that were not so truthful with me and now I don't know what they really are.
~~Update on my progress, another of my 10 week olds was found dead this evening when I got home, it was walking around this morning when I left for work and I found it in the house pecked up. Im going to post picks of the ones I have questions about breed if you can help it would be great.
This one I was told was a phoenix, aruacana cross and would lay green eggs, no green eggs so not laying? according to the lady she said it should be 7 months.
This one supposedly 8 months and is leghorn, RIR cross but lady didn't have any white RIR. She is laying huge White eggs.
This was to be an araucana and 7 months old, again not getting any eggs but white and brown. I don't think shes old enough to lay yet, is there a way to tell if they are laying or not?
This white one is one of the remaining little ones with no idea what they are because defiantly not what he told me they were.
This gray one is the one in question, The second gray one was the one that died today, the two browns to her left are the two RIR that were part of the same batch, but im pretty sure that they are RIR.
TThis black one is the one in the same group, it has some dark brown on her chest so im pretty sure this is the black sexlink that he was talking about, There where two of them is original batch.
The babies I got have been identified as barred rocks but posting n e wy cause they are cuties Any help I can get is great, just starting and should have checked this site out before buying any, but mark it up to experience cause it wont happen again. Thaniks Connie
