I was given 3 new hens and they're about a week into isolation. The lady didn't know what kind they were. I'm pretty sure one is a Rhode Island. The other two (to my eye) seem to have some either Americauna or EE gene in them. She said they all lay brown eggs (which they haven't continued yet after losing their companion to a dog and now moving to my house). Not the best pictures I know as they're still skittish. The second picture has what I think is the Rhode Island on the right. The other three have the two different ones. Their speckled backs is what's throwing me off. I think the third picture gives the best detail on the back coloring.

Thanks







 
I think that you have two Partridge Rocks or partridge rock mixes, and a Production Red (hatchery quality Rhode Island Red).
 
Thanks! I knew you guys would figure it out. I'd never heard of a partridge rock! We have light brahma, orphingtons, barred rocks, leg horns, and another red BUT I'd never heard of a partridge rock. Thanks!
