Hello! A couple of weeks ago we purchased 7 chickens from our local Tractor Supply. In the past we have had Rhode Island Reds, Lavender Orpingtons, and bantams. It's been a few years, we moved and decided to get started back up.

They had Sussex, Wyandotte's pullets, Golden Sexlink pullets and production blue.

We chose:
1 Production Blue
2 Golden Sexlink
1 Wyandotte
3 Sussex
.... Or so we thought. Now that we've had them a little while I'm noticing the sexlink do not look how I think they should and sussex are different from each other. This led me to look up pictures and none of the breeds look how what they should. I am hoping someone can help me find out what kind we have!


The 1st picture is of the "Wyandotte pullet". I do believe she is a pullet but not sure if she's a Wyandotte.

The 2nd & 3rd picture is of the "Golden Sexlink" pullets. I have 2 of these. Both of them are coloring up just like the so called Wyandotte.

The 4th & 5th picture is of the "Production Blue". He (we think he's a roo) is a blue color but has some red on his chest.

The 6th, 7th & 8th picture is of the "Sussex". I have two of these that look black with some white spots on the wing, chest and under chin. They have an odd comb. Not sure if it's going to be a strawberry comb, cushion or something similar.

The 9th & 10th picture is of the 3rd "Sussex". This one is pretty much solid black. A tiny bit of white under the chin. Has a single comb.

The first three pictures are red sex links, and they are pullets. The next two are a cockerel, no idea what he is though, perhaps he is a 'production blue' which I assume is some sort of hybrid. The next three pictures are, I believe, a black wyandotte cockerel.

The last two pictures, I'm not 100% sure, but it's not a sussex. It might be an australorp or jersey giant. The comb and wattles are pretty red, so I'm suspicious it too is a cockerel.
 
Thanks! I had a hard time finding pictures of a Black Wyandotte but finally found one and I have to agree, they look just like those! Looked up the Australorp and that one does look like those too. Thanks for the help! I believe we have 3 roosters and 4 hens. Oh what will we do with three roosters? lol!
