What breed are my chickens?!

[Chickennewbie72]

Buff Plymouth Rock hen, & a Cornish X rooster.

Thank you! Not at all what we thought we were getting!

@MysteryChicken @TheDuckGuy Here's one of the red ones that was supposed to be a Starlight Green Egger or Isa Brown... is she actually a Golden Comet?

We got chicks from Tractor Supply this year. We were told 2 Starlight Green Eggers and 2 Isa Browns. 1 turned out to be a white rooster, grew twice as fast, very stocky. 1 grew up to be buff colored, very sweet, loves to be carried. And 2 mixed colors (Who we thought were the green eggers) who just started laying brown eggs. You can barely see one of the mixed color hens in the background of the Rooster pic... don't have any pics of them on my phone at the moment, but I think they look like Isa Browns based on a Google search.

Any ideas on the white rooster and buff hen? They don't seem to fit either of the breeds Tractor Supply said we were getting.

It's a little confusing how many you have. Your description sounds like you got 4 total (thinking you were getting 2 of this plus 2 of that). I see at least 4 chickens in your second photo and none look the same color as your buff in the first photo. Plus you said you have two multicolored hens. The only multicolored one I see is in the second photo and that one appears to be a cockerell, as @MysteryChicken mentioned.

The chicken in these photos is some kind of red sexlink. Thye might be called Isa Browns, or Golden Comets, or Red Stars, or something else-- there are many names, but the birds are all pretty much the same.

(When I say "red sexlink," it means the female bird is mostly red or gold, and the males of the same type would be mostly white so they can be sexed by color from the time they hatch. The color is "linked" to the sex of the bird when you cross parents of certain colors.)

Sorry, we got 6 but we know 2 of them were golden laced wyandottes (1 male, 1 female). By multicolored, I just meant the 2 red and white ones.... I'm new to chickens and wasn't sure what to call all the colors!

Thanks! This is very helpful!
