What breed or breeds are my chicken?

[Mindy Ireson]

This spring my hens finally hatched some baby chicks, I have only been trying for oh about 15 years! Anyway, I have a couple I can't figure out what kind they are. The black and white speckled pullet has longer feathers around her head and brown tips and brown strecks all over her body. The white roosters, they both have a brown area on each of their big side feathers, (can't think of the name of those feathers?). The hens that laid these eggs are golden buffingtons, Easter Eggers, Rhode Island Reds, and black americanas and my rooster is a Dominque. Any help identifying their breeds wouldView attachment 1603479

Well, this is a cockerel. And I'd guess that the buff is probably the mother. But that's a guess.

My guess is a buff orpington and barred rock mix, or a barred rock mix of some sort

They are all cockerels. The side feathers are saddle feathers. When they are long and pointed like they are on these three, you've got a cockerel.

They are all boys, and I would guess the Orpington was the mother too.

Your rooster is not a Dominique because all the cockerels have single combs. You probably have a Barred Plymouth Rock.

Yeah I was wondering, generally a rose comb is dominant.

A rose comb is always dominant to a single comb.

I don't have a picture of my rooster on here. These are of the ones that hatched this spring. I was meaning the rooster that produced these flocks is a Dominque. Sorry I was not clear. I am not a chicken pro!!

I did not know that about the feathers, thank you!
