Hi All. I posted pic's of these 2 hens when they were 8 wks old and got conflicting answers. Well here they are again at 22 wks. They both lay light brown eggs and started at 18 wks. They both looked like yellow chipmonks as chicks. Thanks

Violet looks like a Welsummer (red ear lobes) and Goldy looks like a Leghorn (white ear lobes)... The coloring is very similar, the breast feathers are what I look at.
 
Thanks for the input. I was told previously that they were partrage rocks. They both looked like chipmonks when they were chicks. The blue patch on Violets foot really had me stumped. At first I thought it was a bruise. She has always had it.
 
Goldy looks remarkably like my Greta, who is a Black Sex Link. I was surprised how "brown" she grew up.

There's no doubt in my mind that Violet is a Welsummer, or Wellie mix, with very little else IN that mix.
 
Goldy looks to me like a black sex link with a little more red than usual in her. Violet looks like my dads Welsummers.

I have 2 black sex links aka black stars. She was not all black as a chick. She looked like a yellow chipmonk with very distinct markings.
