What breed are my hens

I got them from McMurray hatchery

Welcome to the BYC!! #1 looks to be an Easter egger mix. 2 & 3 *might* be leghorns? Hmm... let's see what the others think

 

[Yardmom]

Were there a set of possibilities? Not sure on the first. Are the legs greenish? Then it might be some type of Easter egger. 2 and 3 are to heavy to be true leghorns. Maybe white rock. Someone else maybe more familiar with there body shape.

The first looks like a EE that's lacking a beard/muffs. The two white aren't Leghorns, I agree with White rock or possibly Amber Stars

What did you order?

Can you get clear standing side profile shots and closeups showing the combs and feet?

I ordered brown layers I believe - but I got a couple of white layers too, line ancona and Silver Spangled Hamburgs - I think #3 is a white rock, still not 100% sure. #2 looks similar, except her neck is always down and has what looks like a small hump.

I think you are right, at least #3 is a White Rock - I just compared my photo with McMurray's photo and they are identical - #2 is still a mystery, looks very similar but her neck is not long, and has a hump

Whatever #1's breed, her color is splash.

I don't know what breeds Murray McMurray carries that have pea combs and come in blue-black-splash, but that should narrow your search.

My apologies for not looking closely enough to see the difference in the two white birds. #2 could be a hatchery quality Rhode island White. The breed has not been maintained well , but the shape is supposed to be brick like.

I looked up the Rhode Island White but it doesn't look like her - I am wondering if she is the same as #3 (which I have finally confirmed it is a White Rock), but maybe something is wrong with her neck because she is lopsided
