What color ear lobes? I think they are silver Campine chickens.

Thank you! I think you're right, unsure about the earlobes though - not our chickens, we were just visiting!

Silver Campines or Egyptian Fayoumis

Leaning towards Silver Campines...

Or silver pencilled hamburgs or groninger meeuwen.

no, forget hamburg they have a different comb.

Brakels or groninger meeuwen or silver campine. I can't tell these breeds apart really. Fayoumis are skinnier and leggier.

Id say silver brackels

Silver Campines or Egyptian Fayoumis

If the cockerel develops male-specific feathers they are fayoumis.

What country?

If they are in the USA, and especially if they came from a major hatchery or a store that orders from a major hatchery, I would say most likely Campines or Fayoumis.

In other parts of the world, other breeds might be more likely.

That's a point. I was dithering between getting campines and other similar breeds recently, and discounted campines because of the hen-feathered males. I want to see who is a cockerel as soon as possible!
