What breed is this - 8 week OEG, Ancona and 5 week EE?

Hi,

We picked up some day olds and were told we had a golden penciled Hamburg, blue Ancona and Old English Game. 8 weeks later and I'm thinking the blue is the OEG and black / white the Ancona? My guess on the sexing is the Hamburg is a hen and the other 2 are going to be roosters.

We also have some 5 week old silkies, but there is one in that bunch that is definitely not a silkie - I'm thinking EE??

You are correct that the Ancona is the black and white. The white one with the silkies is, possibly an old English also. No expert though.

Thanks tn_crowing

how many roosters do you think I’ve got?

Agree on breed ID for the 3 8 week olds. The Hamburg is your only pullet. The Ancona and OEG are cockerels.

Where did you get the Silkie eggs?

2 cockerels I'm pretty sure, it's hard to tell just from these pictures. Black and white is cockerel and the chick in the 2nd photo is a cockerel.

The Ancona, for sure, and the OEG, probably.

Hey,
Thanks for your response - really appreciate it.
We’ve got all the chicks as day olds from Comps Poultry in Herne hill.
