What breed are these pullets ?

[EggSighted4Life]

Ok. My second choice would be silver pencilled rock, but I agree, a likely crossbreed.

Possibly!

They are lovely though whatever their breed is!

I am ok with crossbreeds... they are both beautiful and were free so ididnt pay purebred pricing . I was just curious so i could do some research on them .

I will get some when i get home

They have a Silver Penciled in lineage. Being single comb and not Cochin fluffy it's likely Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock. What it was mated to back in the family tree is something with white skin. It's seems there is intent to get back to the Penciled pattern. The white bird is same pattern but incomplete. These birds are at least second generation from original cross. What the white skin, single comb origin bird was I'd guess Orpington.

Or light Sussex?

Yup, that's another option or Australorp. Regardless, they are white skin backyard mix that got pattern from a yellow skin bird.

The white one is 19 weeks and very round shaped . Reminds me of my cochin almost . Are you thinking it may be a rooster ? It has no characteristics aside from the red comb and wattles. I really really dont need another roo lol

No, not now that I know the age.. It looks female, I agree.. I just know some breeds like Seabright and Campine have hen feathered roosters which will get no male characteristic other than larger red comb and wattles, and undoubtedly behavior (most are mounting by the time the get that red).. so if the age were much younger and the comb and wattles looked like that, say 12 weeks.. then I would be wondering if it were a cockerel with hen feathering..

Example hen feathered rooster from google..

When you mentioned silver laced possibility.. Wyandotte and Seabright are the two most common with Orpington sneaking up on their heels. But we have already ruled those both out now..

Definitely cool birds for free!
