What breed are they?

[9d84runner]

I have 2 chickens that I am 99% sure they are both roosters. The barred looking one is a bantam we got for free and I am guessing is a Bielefelder? I have no idea what the black one is. Came out of the rare breed bin and does not look like any of the breeds that was listed on the card. They are 8 weeks old.

Look like roos.

I aggre that the barred one is a biefelder bantam. I am stumped on the other one. They are both roosters

Looks like a EE roo.

Easter Egger cockerel is your second guy!

That’s it

The gray and copper EE roo looks like a prairie bluebell egger roo to me, if they sourced the chicks from Hoovers hatchery. I have a female that looks just like him (but female). This is her at 6 wks and adult (in front). She got copper on her face along her comb and down her neck once she matured fully. I'll see if I can find a pic of the copper.

He was jet black as a chick but does look like her.

He is not. First of the all, those are incredibly rare and literally just released to the public from a single source this year. They haven't even been released long enough for anyone to have old enough stock to breed and sell except the original importer-Greenfire Farms. Secondly Bielefelders have much different type and yellow skin. Both are cockerels. (The correct terminology for a male under a year old.) The first is a Crele Old English Game Bantam and second an Egger of sorts. The strain may be a Prairie Bluebell Egger

Well that's good to know. I could not figure out what he was. He was a brown chick with no markings and was thrown in as a free chick so it's always fun trying to figure out what you have. Everything I looked up, didn't match him as a chick so the closest I could figure out was a Bielefelder. I knew someone here would know what he was.
