What the heck breed is this?

[mychickenbrood]

Still trying to learn this system here. Just wondering if anyone can identify the two breeds below. They are out of order. Not sure how that happened or how to correct it, but there are two pictures of the black ones, and the others are a silver grey with tan breast. All are about three months old. I need to start selling some of them, but don't know the breed. The silver ones are really pretty. I do know they are purebreds are "rare or unusual" breeds. Thanks!

Might be sliver Phoenix hen not sure on the black/dun colored one.

By golly, I think you are right! Thanks. I notice you have Welsummers. I have 5 hens and can hardly wait until they start laying, but I hear the eggs will get lighter and lighter.

Phoenix and possibly minorcas...depends on were you ordered them from

 

[mychickenbrood]

I was wondering if the black ones might be minorcas. Got them from Murray McMurray and they are about three months old. Thank-you for responding (and to everyone else too). I am new at this and so many breeds! Trying to decide which I like best. It's hard.

You've got some easter eggers and delawares in there...

the brown one with white spots is a speckled sussex

Oh, they are Delawares? I wondered. I have a Lakenvelder roo-was supposed to be a hen, but oh well, and I just thought maybe the hens didn't get the black neck feathers so much as the rooster. Thank-you. I also have a white EE or she is an Araucona I think. Has muffs. I don't think I have a picture of her though. Do they come in white?

Your grey colored ones could also be silver Leghorns.

ur White americana is an EE if it came from a hatchery
