some confirmation on breed/gender

[dsqard]

The other thing that I noticed about the two that are supposed to be Ameraucana's is that they have yellow legs. I thought that they were supposed to have slate colored legs. Anyway, it sounds like the "breeder" has not responded back to the photos so that is probably the answer to your questions. They are really pretty chickens though!

... the picture that pop up looks very much like the one (the error bird) which she said must be the chanteclor (sp)... she is white, grey and beige with slate legs... the others all have bright yellow legs.

The breeder has not bothered to respond at 2.5 days so my opinion is that she is ignoring me.... her loss, I won't be buying my trotter stock from her again!

The barred birds to me look like Hatchery quality Barred Rocks. You stated they have yellow legs. They are a rooster and a hen. The hen might possibly be an EE/ BR mix.
The lady did deceive you...

HOWEVER: They are nice birds and you will get some tasty eggs. Theres always a bright side to every situation.
Don't forget that what goes around comes around. Give good, receive good... give bad and well...
Good luck, and enjoy your chickens

Definately not a barred rock anything, they aren't barrs at all given what I have seen of a real barred rock ... I took him to a breeder I trust and the best they could get out of him was a mix of some sort (can't remember). He is still hanging around... massive sweet boy, don't have the heart to eat him, his sister simply up and died at about 6 months and did the one which was supposed to be a welsummer..

What goes around will definately come around... the more I hear from people now, word of mouth is what is coming around!

Sigh... This was another old post resurrected... My bad.

No issues, I do that too... no one really identified the beige one or the two brown one's either... once again pretty but not what I ordered. The beige one has beautiful colouring.

could the barred rock type be cuckoo marans?
