What kind of hen am I?

[meriruka]

I have two of these girls, the other is in the left background....Everyone asks what they are and I just don't know.

Bonus question, is the red hen behind her a golden comet?

Thanks!

The red hen looks like my #4 (that's actually her name), she's an RSL -- she was labeled a Red Star. I'm thinking the buffs may also be some variety of sex link or perhaps young Buff Rocks. I love their color!

Left background looks like a Red Start.

Front almost looks Buff orpish... but she's too light... Sex link of some kind.

Red hen: Production Red.

Wellllll... she could be a Buff Rock or an Orpington. Pretty. I like the color a lot.
The one behind her looks like my rhode Island Reds

The buff 1 in front looks like maybe a buff leghorn (too skin for a rock or orpington it seems). The 1 behind her looks like a Red sex-link.

The one up front look a lot like our Buff bantam Leghorn but I am also still learning about Leghorns so I am probably wrong.

Thanks everyone! I had no idea there was such a thing as buff rocks or buff leghorns.....

Me either! Is the buff one young? Our BO's were kind of scrawny when they were young and then filled out nicely as they matured.


BTW, Sam-I have barn envy!

ETA-As you can see I am a doofus when it comes to knowing how to use the quote button. LOL!

What is her leg color?

Definitely not buff orp or rock...way too small for such a red comb. She'd be much heftier I would think.

 

[meriruka]

Her legs are almost white. She's almost half the size of the sex link behind her but twice the size of my OEGB's. She lays medium to large sized cream colored eggs.
