What breed of chickens are these???

[JessyGii]

I took in 6 hens from a friend of mine who's Neighbors keep buying chicks from chick days for their kids then when they grow to big they let them loose in the neighborhood.

They lay brown eggs
They look like barred rocks but they have white faces and bellies.

Anyone have any idea??

Maybe a hatchery Dominique? They are pretty for whatever they are!

I don't think Dominique or Barred Rock….will be interested in what the experience breeders think.

But gorgeous looking chicken!

 

[JessyGii]

yes I know they are not barred rocks because I have had barred rocks before and these are different

They're mixed breed hens. They had a barred father and a solid mother. The mother may have been silver based, or they also look similar to barred Rock/ buff Orp crosses I've seen before.

X2 on mixed breed hens.

I never said barred rock definitively, it was a guess. Yes, it would be nice to see what experienced breeders would say. Ones which breed that breed! I do not!

They look like mixed breeds.
