What breeds are they please

[Rafa]

Hi thanks for the comments!! I wasnt sure if they were too fat!! They have layers pellets and corn mixed in their feeder, and all leftovers from the kitchen, which they are obviously thriving on. My roo and little mutt are about 8/9 months old, no older than a year. Not sure about the other five ladies, long story, but we took them in as the owner couldnt keep them. Four of the five are laying quite regularly, but Patricia hasnt laid and we've had them since September 2009, so I dont think she will somehow. What do you have and how many?

He's got tufts on his cheeks. Could he maybe have Araucana in him? (but Araucana isn't supposed to have tails) I don't know, just what I thought when I saw the tufts in that last pic.

the roo seems like a mutt i see something that looks like a top hat. anybody else see that?

I would guess that Rocky may have some Faverolle (perhaps mahogony) in him. He has the beard, a bit of leg feathering and the general color patterning. Very pretty mutt.

Thankyou for all your views and comments I'm guessing I have at least two beautiful mutts Its nice to see peoples views as you look at so much on the net and get very confused!! Hope you and your chickens are all well and healthy.

If that is a mutt roo could I have one like that? My daughter's first reaction was wow if roos are that handsom I want one just like that

From the mouth of a 5yr old.

Keep up the good work. I do hope my ladies turn out as healthy and plump as yours.

I think your roo is an EE cross, or just a badly bred EE because of the comb and wattles...

This is my boy Solaris, he is 14 months old - supposed to be pure Ameraucana but his color is off so probably just an EE...

I think you may be right!! With him being so young I suppose he will change dramatically as he ages, but the colouring is a good likeness. To MowNGrow if your ever in England in the very near future Rocky is yours!!!!! First neighbour complained today, he is a very early riser 4am!!! Think I may need to find the little fellow a new home shortly. I will be heartbroken if he has to go

PS I'm not going no where, brilliant forum and website, and yes I'm already hooked

Hens look like sex-links or sex link crosses.

Roo is a gorgeous mutt.
