What kind of Hen is this?

[Andrea1979]

We purchased 6 chickens in the summer to had to our flock. All of them were different. In fact, at least one turned out to be a rooster. Just wondering what kind of hens these 2 are? Also the white has pretty large hackles and comb, thought there’s a chance it may be a he not a she. So far there’s no crowing. The brown one is pretty dark and has a lot of black details on her feathers. Obviously the multi coloured one is our rooster. Thanks again.

The white looks like a Columbian rock pullet. Not sure on the others.

The white one looks like a Delaware, the partridge colored one I'm unsure. Could be a mix with that pea type comb. Both are hens.

I looked the breed you said up on the white one and I believe you are right. Thanks.

Thanks for the response. I’m pretty sure now by looking up both breeds said that it is a Colombian rock. Thanks again.

If the dark one has feathered feet, she might be a brahma cross. My first instinct was Delaware, but after a little comparison, I'm going to agree with frazzemrat. Difference between columbian rock and delaware.

None have feathered feet. That’s why I was having problems figuring them out.

If the one is a mix than they both could be mixes. I think Columbian rocks are common.
