I got 4 of my hens from somebody who ordered them online and only knew that they were 'pure breed, good egg layers'. Then I got 2 more from my local feed store that somebody dropped off there.
So far the most I've gotten is 4 eggs - all brown, althought I have one hen (not sure which) that consistently lays brown eggs that are flecked with white. (now I'm only getting 2 eggs a day max... seems like the 4 youngin's decided that laying eggs was too much work.
)
Anyways here are the pics:
Barred Rock? She was the first to lay out of the 4 younger ones. Med brown/pinkish eggs (the picture makes her look like a devil hen
)
EE? If so shes not laying yet. Shes really really small compared to my other hens...
My first guess was white leghorn but when I caught her in the nesting box with a brown egg it made me rethink that one.
Golden Laced Wyndotte?
Rhode Island Red? Or maybe a Production red? You cant see it in the picture but she has a tiny bit of black on her tail. She was one of the two from the feed store.
I really have no clue on her. She was the second one from the feed store.
