What gender and breed?

[desilvam]

I have no idea what breed either of them are, and I'm not entirely sure of the gender. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

Chicken #1 (9 weeks)

Chicken #2 (9 weeks)

Thanks

Wow. Silver Campines and Egyptian Fayoumis look almost indentical. How do you tell them apart?

Thanks you guys for the answer about the dark brahma (#2) !

But unfortunately I have no idea whether chicken #1 is a silver campine, or an egyptian fayoumis

Looking at the links you supplied, it says that Campines have white earlobes, and Fayoumis red ones with a white spot. It shows in the pictures, too.

You may have to wait until she's older, though.

Oh yeah... Good catch!

Now why didn't I notice that...

I could of sworn that Fayoumis have white earlobes... Learn something new every day!

Desilvam - Can you remember what color she was as a chick? They are apparently colored very differently as chicks...

Just learned something else! Campine is pronounced Kam-peen. I was pronouncing it Cam-pine.
