What breed? Any ideas.

I bought these as Brown Leghorns chicks several months ago. I think they have started to lay recently as I have seen them in the nest boxes but no white eggs. They are in with some of my Rhode Island Reds. All of the eggs I'm getting from that coop are brown eggs. Any idea what breed these are. The person I bought them from has moved away and I don't have a way to contact them.






Their fluff is a grayish color.

Partridge Rocks, I'm pretty sure. Love the color, they're such eye candy!

I think you are correct.

I agree, Partridge Rocks.

My only problem with it is according to the APA SOP, the legs and toes should be more yellow. I did get a picture off of FeatherSite and it shows the legs more grayish. Thanks for the opinions. Now how well do they lay eggs? I do plan on selling them as I don't need another breed.

Definently Partridge Rocks. Leg color can vary greatly if they are not bred to APA standards. Rocks are fairly good layers.

Partridge Rocks. Rocks of any variety are outstanding layers. They usually have pretty fun personalities, too.

I've only had I think 2, from Ideal if I recall correctly. Mine had off color legs as chicks, not sure if it stayed or they turned nice yellow as they matured.

I do remember thinking they didn't lay quite as well as my hatchery barred Rocks, but they were pretty enough to make up for it
