What are we...

[Legacy Farms]

So my birthday babies are all 5-6 weeks old now. With the help of members of BYC we have already established that my Delwares are in fact Leghorns & my Speckled Sussex are Red Sexlinks. So these are my remaining kids. They are supposedly Black sexlinks, Cinnamon Queens & Dominiques. Sorry I don't have better pics they don't seem to sit still unless they are sleeping.

I see a buff Orpington, a blue laced red Wyandotte possibly, and either Wyandotte mixes or Easter eggers without beards. I see no sex links that I'm familiar with, but there are lots of different types.

This is supposed to be a Dominique.

The two in the middle are supposedly Cinnamon Queens

This is supposed to be a black sexlink.

At this point I don't even know what is what. I'm no longer ever going to believe the labels!

Dominique--maybe (I can't tell if it is, but it doesn't look obviously wrong to me.)

Cinnamon Queens--no. One reason is that Cinnamon Queen hens have white and brown feathers, not black and brown. (Google image search is my source of info for this.) The other reason is that I'm pretty sure the one on the left (next to the white bird) is a male, while the one beside him is a female. If they were Cinnamon Queens, or any similar sexlink, the male would be white. You might have Rhode Island Reds, or New Hampshires, or Production Reds, or something of the sort; or you might have something else entirely.

Black Sexlink--maybe. I think it has quite a lot of gold on it, but I know that some Black Sexlinks do have quite a lot of gold, so I don't know for sure. IF it is a black sexlink, then it is a female.

Where did you get them? Yes, the labels can certainly be wrong!

Thank you! I have only seen one photo on a hatchery page that remotely looked like these supposed CQ. That one had black on its head and brown thrown in. They said it was a CQ but heck if I know!
These were all surprise birthday presents from my hubby. He got them all at the local feed store and TS. The Dominique, Leghorn & Buff Orphington came from the feed store. The rest all came from TS. Doesn't really matter what they are, I'd just like to know what I have. I love them regardless their breed.

In that case, you shouldn't have any problems, because they look like good chickens to have. Try asking about breeds again in a few months--it often becomes much more clear as they get more mature.

Will do! I know I have some roo's in the mix. I'm just hoping more hens than roo's!
