Hi I'm new to BYC and needed help identifying 2 of my chickens. The backstory is I ordered hatching eggs from my pet chicken and they gave me a sheet with codes so I can tell what chicks might hatch from the eggs I bought. I bought a random mix and 4 chicks hatched. I'm positive I have 2 cochins but the other chicks I'm confused about. All my chickens are about 6 weeks old so I'm not sure if I can tell what gender they are yet but can anyone help me gender all 4 chickens?
This chicken came from a light blue/green egg that was labeled Easter egger but I noticed it had feathered legs and a small tuft on it's head.
I've heard of Easter eggers having feathered legs but never this profusely. The other chicken I need help identifying is this one:
The egg was a light brown color and was labeled Isabel Orpington which is a breed I've never heard about but I know orpingtons are really fluffy birds, but this one has late/ bad feathering and is significantly smaller than my other chickens but weighs the most. It also has a long neck.
These two are hatched from blue black splash cochin eggs, possibly bantam because the eggs were small.
Can anyone help me identify the first 2 chickens, and if possible, tell me the gender of all 4? Thank you!
