What breed are my hens??

[randerson846]

I have 2 hens, that i hatched last year, i got so many last year, that i hatched, that a fox got, and now i only hav three left, but i am still unsure on what breed theses are, can anybody help?

My white hen, with a few black spots, not sure? Lays green eggs?

My black hen with reddy lrangy feathers, just from head to about breast, lays a darkish browny egg?

Thanks in advance

I'm gonna say barnyard mix. Any Idea who the parents were?

the first one is an aracauna, cause of the green eggs, if they were blue, it would be an ameracauna, easter eggers come in different varieties, so thats what i think, but im not expert

no, half of them were from my neighbour and half were from online!

They look like they are all hybrids, but the green egg threw me, she looks like an Austra White but they lay cream/off-white eggs, perhaps she is an Isbar, but more likely she is a mix. The black one is likely a black sex-link rather than a Marans and your red and white girls in the back are definitely sex-links, often called Golden Comets or Red Stars, though there are many other names for them.

It's not an Araucana, please read: http://www.the-chicken-chick.com/2011/09/ameraucana-easter-egger-or-araucana.html

Randerson, where did you get these online eggs? My Pet Chicken, a breeder, someone on eBay?

The white bird with black flecks may not look like a typical Easter Egger, but if it lays green eggs, it's an Easter Egger (blue egg layer X brown egg layer). The bottom one is a Black Sex Link. BSLs are laying machines. You should get loads of eggs from that girl. )

Agreed.
