What breed is this ?

[Brahma Chicken5000]

Now the question is, what is that little-white headed chicken in the corner of the first picture?

I was thinking the same thing. It has red earlobes so it’s not a Leghorn.

My bad, they also look a lot like Delaware’s. Light brahmas and Delaware’s have similar coloring, but one is much fluffier and has feathered feet, also Delaware’s have bigger combs.

But I still can’t be sure, so I’d say between light brahmas and Delaware’s.

OH MY GOD, I can’t believe I forgot. Those aren’t light brahmas! They look just like Delaware’s. Hahaha my bad I totally got it wrong, guess my eyes deceived me. My bad.

Yes they are Light Brahmas. They have pea combs and feathered legs.

Delawares have barring.

Could it be a mixed breed?

The first picture? Maybe. That is a lot of lacing leakage, so there's a partridge gene in there somewhere. Could also just be hatchery quality, though.

What's barring

This pattern is barring.

You can see it in the black feathers of the Delaware.

Depends where the feathers are missing. They could be molting (it's early, but not too early.) It could be mites. It could be the roosters. Can you describe where the feathers are missing and if there are feather shafts sticking out of the skin?

It's their backs and "elbows" lol you can see the worst one in the center. The black chicken.

What's barring

Instead of solid black areas, they have what my kids call zebra stripes.
This is Hedwig, a bantam Delaware. You can see on his tail that they are striped. His neck and wing tips are too.
