What breed?

[kenziemackenny]

Yes I have 7 new chicks and I'm wanting to know what breed they are?

Wow not sure on the breed but that one is sure proud to be a boy! They usually don't have combs that large or red at that age.

Do you have a head on shot of him or any of the others? I want to get a better look at that comb on the first one, especially.

I am inconclusive on breeds atm but first three are definitely cockerels.

Now I can see the rest of the pics!

#1 Roo (Need body shot for breed)

#2 Roo (Need body shot for breed)

#3 Roo (Barred Rock would be my guess)

#4 Pullet (Australorp or Jersey Giant)

I think #4 is a low grade silkie mix, btw, because she is not pure black, there is gold in the hackles, and she has a fifth toe. No crest or leg feathering, but that can be gone after just 2 generations.

Nice catch, I didn't see that but your probably right!

I don't know if these will help. I would really like to know what they are.

Where did you get them? Looking at these new pictures, they all look like barn-yard mixes to me. If you got them from someone with a multi-breed flock who lets them run together, and hatches their own eggs for new hens, that is the kind of result you would see.
Hard to tell the exact breeds contained till they get older. The little black one contains Silkie, for sure. The bigger-combed ones probably have [non-white] leghorn somewhere, and the stripy ones Barred Rock.

I got them from a family friend and he told me they are all Bannies if that's how you spell it but many people have told me they aren't. My black one has ten toes.
