um this is probably gonna sound real dumb....but what is EE? I'm a mum so i know a bit about babies but not chickens lol

 

[esy_em]

whats the comb sorry?

 

[lux_interior]

the comb is the big thing that grows out between their eyes.... and an EE is an Easter Egger... it's an araucana cross.

bottom looks like a salmon faverolles. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGD/Favs/BRKFaverolles.html
That is the only other chicken that fits with the 5 toes. Are these hatchery birds? The favorelles looks like it's mixed.....

I don't think this person is in the US and not sure if they have EEs there. EEs don't typically have 5 toes. I was thinking faverolle possibly as well. But without knowing what the possible parents are, it is anyone's guess. They could just be crosses.

 

[lux_interior]

wouldn't a faverolle have feathers on it's legs?

 

[esy_em]

omg thankyou every one I'm pretty sure spider back is a salmon faverolles and snake bait is an Black Australorp.

THANK YOU THANKYOU THANKYOU ALL
<<< does this mean they are bantoms?>>>

 

[lux_interior]

those are most likely standard, not bantam.

Yup, you're right. Good catch!

I still don't think the "laced" one is an australorp either. They do not have lacing.

 

[lux_interior]

maybe they are mixes?? Probably best to wait till they mature a little more and then take more pictures to figure it out..
