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!
 
The ones that are being labeled as austrolorps... what color are their foot bottoms? Yellow foot bottoms indicates Black Jersey Giant. Pinkish indicates Austrolorp.
