The locals call them Sasso, but that is a french company that brought them here.

They may be some sort of Production Red, but I don’t know!

They are cute chickens though! How old are they?
And also, is the rooster the same breed?

The hens look like New Hampshire. Not sure on the rooster.

Since I posted this I have discovered the name of the breed. They are called French Maran Black Tail Buff. The average weight of these birds is 8 pounds. My rooster is 9 pounds.

The hens look like New Hampshire. Not sure on the rooster.

I have crossbred this rooster with the Filipino native hen in my photo with the hen and chicks. The Filipino native chickens are small, average only 3 pounds.
I call the new breed Filipino Black Tail Buff.
