Partridge Rock or Brown Leghorn or ??

[three128]

I ordered from Murray Mcmurray's rainbow layer collection and ended up with three of these. Any ideas what they might be and do these two look like hens?

I can't help you with the breeds, but I would say the darker one is is roo and the buff coloured one is a pullet

The dark one looks exactly like my Partridge Rocks

A roo?? Uh oh. Well I have three of those brown ones. They all look the same for the most part. The buff one I'm assuming is a buff Orpington.

Thanks.

Thanks. That is one of the breeds I had narrowed it down to. How old are yours? What should I look for to distinguish between Roos and pullets?

Your Partridge Rock looks like a roo as it has a pinker comb compared to your little buff coloured pullet. It also has larger, thicker legs which would suggest it is a roo not a pullet.

Mine are about 5 weeks now, all but two of mine have developed larger, redder combs in the last few days along with larger, redder waddles. I have two that I am sure are pullets and I'm sure the rest are probably cockerels based on the comb and waddles now.
