Okay, lets see if I got these breeds correct.

[pfost262]

I received these hens from a friend for free, these are four chickens for each breed. As of now only one is crowing so I was able to pick out the roo. After laying in the grass today to observe my 9 week old mix I think I may have figured out, or almost figured out these girls. What do you think? The First photo, brown one kind of has be a bit stumped but I believe it may be a Red Rnger hen? Second photo hen on the left, Dominique? and I'm certain the hen on the right is a Cream Legbar. Third Photo, Barred Rock or another Dominique. Although the fourth photo looks like a roo I have four of these three look like this one and are not crowing, one looks slightly different and that one is crowing. I believe this may be an Amber Link? Also, are there any signs that this may be a rooster and just hasn't crowed yet? The other roo has been crowing for about two weeks. Lastly the black one I believe is a Copper Maran. What do you think?

No idea on first one.
Second pic does look like a legbar pullet. The other is not dominique.. Wrong comb for that. Looks like it may be a legbar cockerel.
Third may be barred rock. Not a dominique.
Last is not copper marans. Looks simular to a black sex link pullet.
White one looks like a cockerel. No idea about breed. With that crest maybe a white legbar or legbar cross.

First one I'm not sure of, could be a red ranger, could be some sort of production red. The second picture would appear to be a pair of Legbars - one cockerel and one pullet. Third picture might be a barred rock, but that's a lot of comb for nine weeks old and it's probably a cockerel. If so not a barred rock, since a barred rock cockerel would be double barred, and that bird is not. So maybe a black sex link cockerel. The next one, which is white, I'm not sure, but it's crested and amber links aren't crested so not an Amber Link. Also, it's a cockerel - the huge comb at this age plus the red in the shoulder give that away. Lastly, you have a black sex link pullet.

So, three cockerels, three pullets.

I would think a red ranger would be much bigger (since they are primarily bred for meat), so I think some type of RIR or New Hampshire Red cross (akAroduction red as mentioned earlier.) Regardless, have a ton of fun with your new birds!

Look into Swedish Flower hens, unless you know all of them were purchased at a feed store. Many have crests and strange coloration and not all have "flowers"). Does the white cockerel have feathered feet or extra toes?

 

[pfost262]

AH yes! The white ones do have both extra toes and feathered feet! I have a total of 18 of these new breeds. They were given to me from a teacher who hatched them in school. I keep getting stumped with the breed and sex lol. I've been raising hens for 5 years but have only bought your typical sexed heritage breeds so there was no need to guess and figure out breed or sex. It's fun lol I'm actually a bit excited to have cream legbars. I didn't know much about that breed and was pleasantly surprised when I found out they were rare and cost somewhere around $30 a chick. (and I got, possibly 5, for free) Thanks for the help everyone. I'll be investigating these Swedish Flower Hens.

Since a teacher hatched them out, they could all be mixes because many times those eggs are easiest to come by on a teacher's budget. However, sometimes teachers and school systems prefer to know where the eggs cane from (more legal and health reasons, I would imagine) and may order from a hatchery, especially if they want a more steady supply on demand.

You're white ones are most likely poor quality Sultans or mixes, because they aren't supposed to have single combs (the only *sometimes* crested breeds I know of with single combs are crested creme Legbars--and those come in non-crested, too, and *sometimes* Swedish Flowers, which are a land race and don't have a standard). Because your clearest bell ringer for a Sultan has colored bleed in random feathers, I'm going to guess all your birds are potentially mixed as Sultans are only breed in three colors, so no hatchery would have any cause to produce red speckled Sultans (they're poor laying birds who are kept for showing, pets and ornamental value= it's a tremendous loss if someone jumps into the wrong pen and contaminates Sultan egg stock in a hatchery)

Most of the single combs appear to have some serious wrinkle/fold on them, which sometimes happens when a single combed bird is crossed with another comb type. Most cream Legbar roos have more of a crele (barred golden partridge) color, and finding them in other colors can be especially difficult. Your best bet is figuring out where the teacher got the eggs or waiting a longer time to see how these kids mature and what color eggs they lay.

Someone else mentioned about them being a mix of breeds when I talked about getting them from a teacher. I'm from Long Island, there isn't a breeder anywhere near here so they most likely just ordered them from a hatchery. To be honest, I have 30 egg layers and I took these to use as meat, I haven't the room for any more birds lol. The white ones look to be a hearty bird to be good maybe for meat we'll see. I was hoping for a decent rooster out of he bunch though. Maybe I'll get lucky with the cream legbar? Again, most of this batch I took to have fun with. I do appreciate all the help!

 

[The Moonshiner]

Couple things about legbars. Yes the males have a crele type pattern but when I raised them the cockerels seemed pretty slow in getting their adult colors. Most of mine looked like that bird at that age.
Also with roosters it was common to get that wrinkled comb. It was caused by the crest.
Also I'm not an expert on combs but I think single comb is recessive to at least a few of the others. I know rose is dominate and think pea is too. I don't think that wrinkle is from crossing comb types.
