Hello,
So I purchased a mix batch of standard and heritage poultry from Rochester Hatchery (AB, Canada) ... now I don't know what some of them are. I know there are some RIR, but I'm having a hard time differentiating them from the Red Sussex X. I have marked the ones I know for sure I do or don't have.
Breeds listed, but not guaranteed were:
-Barred Plymouth Rock (don't have)
-Columbian Rock (have)
-RIR
-Red Rock X
-Red Sussex X
-Ameraucana
-Buff Orpington
-Black Australorp
-DBL (have)
-Buff and Dark Brahma (have)
-Speckled Sussex (have)
-Partridge Cochin
-WCBP (don't have)
-White Silkies (have)

There are some Western Rustic Broilers in some of the pictures.

Please help!?

These all look like mixes to me. The first two pictures are Brahmas or Brahma crosses. The next three ladies look like they may be Easter Egger crosses. The two ladies in the second to last picture look like a production red or New Hampshire and maybe a Buff Rock.
 
I know, but they are supposed to be PB other than the Red Rock X and Red Sussex X. I was thinking pic 1&2 are Partridge Cochin. pic 3 is a Red Rock X. Pic 5 Ameraucana. Pic 6 (the background pullet) & 7 Buff Orpington? I am new to chickens though and have no clue if I'm off my rocker when it comes to telling the breeds :/
 
#1 looks like a poorly bred Partridge Brahma. #2 look like a mixed color Cochin. #3 & #4 look like Black Sexlinks. #5 looks to be a crossbred. #6 looks to be a Production Red and maybe a New Hampshire Red "Rhode Reds and Red Sussex, especially heritage lines, would be much darker red".
