What do we have?

[Chickychickenchickchick]

Would anyone be able to tell me what breeds these two might be please?

They came from a farm. Two darker eggs came from a marans X and I’m not sure about the others, there’s also a choice of 4 cockerels!

Thank you

Any breed identifying tips appreciated! Thanks so much

I'm seeing an extra toe on the black one with the head spot. It's probably a mix, like the rest of them, but I'd expect a 5 toed breed or variety to be involved in the parentage of at least two of them. 5 toed breeds/varieties include Silkies, salmon Faverolles, and Green Queens.

Thanks so much. We’ve got 3 mixed bantams from last year, a frizzle pekin, a pekin and 2 silkies (all bantams) so the mixedness doesn’t bother me in the slightest

It’s just nice to see how they’ll potentially look when they’re grown!

the one with the reddish brownish face, darker body, and feathers on its legs is probably a Maran cross, and could have Wyandotte or Sebright just going by the face color.

The black one with the head spot will be barred. The other two dark ones will probably be black with red/gold leakage. The brown one I'm guessing will be mostly brown and gold.

Thank you. Wonder if they’ll lay coloured eggs or just be cream/brown, I know they get blue ones at the farm where these eggs came from.

Have to wait until they lay. No way to know ahead of time.
