What kinds of hens are these?

[kelsfarm]

Hi all,

My new farm came with 3 chickens (pictured) what kind are they?

I get blue and brown eggs from the black and white and white hens… who could be laying which?
Brown- have not seen her lay an egg yet

Thanks!!

First two are barnyard mixes. Last one is a BR (Barred Rock).

Looks to be Sussex, Rhode island red, and Dominique.

Light Sussex have white shanks and skin, not slate. RIRs are black tailed red, with a rich mahagony. Even a hatchery RIR wouldn't look like the OP's bird. Dominiques have rose combs, not single combs.

I was just saying what they looked like most to me. Thank you for explaining those to me. Even as a barnyard mix they all look happy and healthy.

Could be either of the barnyard crosses.

Agreed.

Betting the white-ish mix is laying blue. Update us if you figure it out!

What other color eggs do you get? Should get a brown from the barred rock

Whoever is laying the blue egg is an Easter Egger.
