What types of chickens are these?

[jjrussell]

Hi all! I have been scouring the web to figure out what kinds of chickens these are. Your input is very appreciated!

The first 2 are the same chicken. He has 5 toes but I think to that is a genetic defect. All were purchased from hatcheries and a few are straight run.

Where did you get them? Could any of them be mixed breeds?

They look like black star sex links to me.

Sorry, missed the last sentence of your post.

The one in the last picture is a black sumatra. The chick in the third picture looks like a barnevelder. The chick in the sixth picture looks like a campine. The first chicken could be a barnevelder becaus of the lacing, but I'm not sure. The others could be black stars.

They would have come from Hoover’s or Dunlap. It is possible that some are Easter Eggers.

Thank you so much! I was thinking barnevelder for #3 but her legs don’t look yellow enough. For #6 I wasn’t sure because I can’t tell what type of comb she has yet and I couldn’t find a campine or Hamburg with a black face (and without white ears which may come in later). I think you’re right about the black stars; a lot of the pictures of them look different. How can you tell a Sumatra?

How can you tell a Sumatra?

Because of the all black skin on her comb and face. There are only a few chickens with this trait, and only two kinds are avaliable in major hatcheries (ayam cemani and sumatra). She looks more like a sumatra than an ayam cemani, and the sumatra is more common in hatcheries than the ayam cemani.
