Please help me identify these chicken breeds.

Golden sebrights are tiny birds.

One thing about hatchery birds is their legs are not always the color they are supposed to be. They do not breed to standard.
 
I didn't realize that the well known hatcheries do not always breed to standard. Murray McMurray describes how the chicken is supposed to look, including leg color. I thought I was okay with them, but??? Don't want to wreck anyone's reputation of course, unless they are out and out....well, you fill in the blank. Anyway, thank-you and maybe as they develop more I will be able to figure them out for sure.

I am having a ball though. I want to raise some, but have so much to learn. Have to build seperate pens for breeds or keep my roosters separated.

I'm thinking I might go with the Lakenvelders and Creveceours, although I love so many of the breeds it is hard to choose only two.
 
no matter what hatchery u go trough not all there birds will fit standard. i orderd from the same hatchery and shown a few birds that were suppose to fit standard and they got DQed for wrong leg color or not proper feather color. soo there not perfect. looking through there catalouge Urs looks like maybe some kind of sumatra hen or phoenix hen. but even then it dont really look like thos. I dont see anything it looks like.
 
AK, I will get a picture when I get home in a few days. I am curious now too, to see if they are Redcaps.

Stephanie, thank-you for the information on the hatcheries. I have a lot to learn! I'll need to look at the standards before I choose any of them to raise. Would need to do that anyway, but thought I the "purebred" forms.
