What Breed Are These?

[ghost_rider]

Happy New Year to the back yard forum.

I was hoping that someone here could tell me what breed this rooster and hen are? They were taken in until we could find them a new home and we wanted to know what they were for the new owners.

Thanks in advance for any assistance!!

They actually both look like roos and my guess would be Partridge Rock.

Perhaps RI Hen and Roo?

 

[dandelionheart]

Yeah, that looks like two roosters to me as well.

 

[elabraleon]

can you get a better picture of the one in the back? maybe a side view?

 

[Marion565]

looks like two RIR Roosters

RIRs do not produce any black in the feathering. So they can't be RIRs. RIRs are more of a rusted or Mahoganey color.

Does one of them have white legs? If so they could be a cross. I am not sure, but give Illia a chance to see this she will know for sure.

Rhode Island Reds do not and should not have black on the chest or wing.

They're likely both mutts. The one on the right doesn't have the coloring for a Partridge or Double-laced, and has white legs. He's likely a cross of Sussex, Orpington, or Marans and something else. The one on the left also has a lot of red leakage/rustiness on the fluff and where black normally should be, plus his legs are yellow. He's also a likely cross of black and something else, perhaps Production Red. (hatchery RIR's)

What Illia said + both are cockerels.
