Meet Buttercup!

The store told us she was an Aruacana. The other 'Aruacana' we got, Sunshine, is looking like an Easter Egger, white with green-gray legs. Buttercup is gorgeous, but I have no clue as to her breed. Any ideas? She appears to be about 4-5 weeks old right now.

Could you get better pictures? Not as close up?

The probable EE is the white-yellow girl in the background.

The first looks like a buff Orpington.

Interesting. I was told the two darker brown ones were Buff Orps. Which I'm wondering if one is a roo, because she or he is taking forever to feather in compared to the other Buff. But if Buttercup is a Buff Orp that's fine, they're a beautiful breed, lots of eggs and very hardy I hear. Thanks!

Agreed. The darker brown ones look like either Production reds or hatchery Rhode Island Reds.

I do believe I see one barred rock there and a white leghorn (your yellow chick). Where did you get them? some places just don't know and guess. What matters is hopefully they are all pullets.
