What Breed? Am unsure

[Miriahb]

Hello folks. While I'm very sure that my little guy is a rooster (I thought he was a very pretty hen until the fateful day that he crowed), I'm not exactly sure what breed his is. I got him from the local co-op, who swore that he and the other two I got with him were black sex links. (They are most certainly not. ) I think he and our little hen are phoenixes, but I'm not completely sure. The other little one ended up being a bantam (I had sworn I wouldn't have any itty bitty chickens, but there go my plans) that I believe is an australorp bantam.


This is my roo and the little hen that I got with him.


This is just the roo being photobombed by a Cinnamon Queen


All three from the co-op.

Looks like two Golden Phoenix and a Sumatra. Maybe the feed store was sent a longtail mix?

What kind of comb does the black bird have? She doesn't look like an Australorp to me.

She has a little bitty pea comb and is a bantam. Do Sumatran's come in bantam size?

Quote: They do, but they're not very common. Do you have any idea what hatchery they came from?

Considering the pea comb, I bet she's a Sumatra.

ETA: Ideal Hatchery sells bantam Sumatras and I'm fairly certain I've seen that people have gotten them in TSC bantam bins.

I have no idea what hatcheries they are from. I was going to cull all three as I raise chickens for meat and eggs, but my 8yo begged me not to and he's just too pretty.

Agreed

I agree with @popsicle as well.

I came home and found a bunch of long pretty feathers in my yard. Turns out the person who lives down the road and refuses to keep their dog in their yard didn't care that I have chickens. My pretty boy is all torn up.

He's alive but his tail is now featherless. Unfortunately, my pet duck that I rescued is now missing.

Neighbors were told that if their dog came on our farm again, they'd never see him again. Grrrr

That's awful.

So sorry!
