Okay, I am asking for some help. I spent quite few hours looking through feathersite and have come to this: note: the pictures are kinda crappy because my digital is crappy. #1 Welsummer or Sex-link? #2 No good idea - sorry :| #3 Again-no idea - #4 Australourpe? #5 One of my older hens I have always considered a mutt. She has the same slate/green/grey legs as the chick: Thanks everyone. The 4 chicks I show here are the bulk of the 33 mixed "Pullet Surprize" I got from Ideal. Em
1: Not sure, but it's not a black sexlink. 2: new hamshire red? 3: rhode island red? 4 : australop? 5: Black sexlink.
In my opinion 1 looks like a brown leghorn 2 & 3 not sure, but maybe red or brown sexlinks 4 & 5 are black australorps Matt
#1 is more than likely a welsummer #2 looks like a red or buff chantecler, it doesnt have a single comb, thats why I say chantecler #3 looks like a RIR #4 & #5 look like austrolorps
Well, I'm hoping they're Welsummers, LOL. I'm glad to know my black hens aren't mutts!! Now I can say I have 2 Austrolorpes! Any further opinions would be appreciated. It seems there is no great consensus other than the Austrolorpes. Thanks- Em
