Ok I posted my roo earlier and I now have more pic's for review I currently have 2 roosters and 6 females and just recently bought 2 pullets one is a Rhode island red and a buff brahma, I think some if not most of what my father in law had may have either came from friends or from the flea market so im sure there may be some mutts in the mix which I am completely ok with I would kind of like to know what their mix might be if able to tell at all. This is an update to an earlier post about my big boy roo I now have all the pictures of him from the front and above. The first pictures are of my ban roo I I have looked at pictures and he may be either a leghorn ban or a game. He is super cocky and very protective of the girls tho he is the smallest of tmy my two boys I trust him the least when I have to work with a squawky girl.





This is Queen and if your not sure why the name well that's what she is she rules the roost she tolerates the others but wont think twice about knocking the roos around . She was the first to warm up to me still stand offish but if I have a shovel in my had she's the first one there and the first to get the worm. nice dark feathers with frown lacey neck and upper chest.

.









This little lady is sweet but shy she seems to be the healthiest of the bunch and had consistent feather health and skin color. She is a fatty but not huge







This is little brown she is small and very skittish. Her feather health is just bad and it isn't due to molt that I can tell she has looked like this from the beginning. Otherwise she seems healthy but still no idea what she may be.















This is alternate views of my big boy my fiancé call him foghorn leghorn because he's huge (almost as tall as my nephew who is five).










These two girls are Drizzela and Anastasia (like the stepsisters in Cinderella) Ugly and have big feet. Even tempered but skittish.











and last but not least is my ban she's brooding right not so this is all I could get and seeing as how she had a temper before she's even worse now so this is the best I could do and has black tips on her tushie feathers you can just barely make it out. She is a very lovely tan and light brown and drops a white to very light cream small egg.



Anyway I would love any and all help in figuring out what my birds are if they are any one thing and if not one thing at least what they might be mixed with.

Thank You Sonya

mixed breed rooster--he may have some game bird in him

This is Queen and if your not sure why the name well that's what she is she rules the roost she tolerates the others but wont think twice about knocking the roos around .

she could be a black sex link, could be a barnyard mix





solid black hen could be an Australorp

This little lady is sweet but shy she seems to be the healthiest of the bunch and had consistent feather health and skin color. She is a fatty but not huge





barnyard mix hen

This is little brown she is small and very skittish. Her feather health is just bad and it isn't due to molt that I can tell she has looked like this from the beginning. Otherwise she seems healthy but still no idea what she may be.





red sex link hen

cute little wheaton game hen! They make great mommas

Anyway I would love any and all help in figuring out what my birds are if they are any one thing and if not one thing at least what they might be mixed with.

I think your red sex link hen's feathers are bad due to an overabundance of lovin'. If you can either get more hens or pull a rooster out for a while will help her regrow those feathers.
 
Thank you for your help I was thinking close on the black and red sex links so I'm glad I was close and I had a feeling I had some game mixed into the bunch seeing as how they came from the flee market and my big fat black girls I had no idea. I knew that my ban hen and roo were more flighty so that does explain a bit. Thanks on my red sex link and yes she gets a lot of lovin and im sure she will be thankful too my mom is starting up her own flock and taking my ban hen and roo to try and keep the peace between the roos so little red will possible get a break but she is the smallest and my big roo is heavy he may just be to much for her poor girl. Again thank you for your help had chicken in the past but im learning a lot more now!!!!!
