I was offered "free" roosters!
but I had to pick them up right away or else! It was after dark.... The "colored" roo I was told was an Araucana, Ha Ha I could see he wasn't even in the dark, he has feathered legs (and a bad case of scale mites which I couldn't see) ~~I'm hoping he is a Black Copper Maran mixed with EE because he has a beard and muffs (but he doesn't have slate legs). The tail feathers he has left are a dark chocolate brown. Also check out his bottom half, whats up with that? It looks like a two different birds glued together
The other two, I was told, were Leghorns. When I looked at them in the daylight they have a buff tint to their feathers and a few splashes of gray. They both have yellow legs (more mites
) and one has a muff and one doesn't. Both have white ear lobes. Also they tussled and lost some tail feathers the first night (they're getting along fine now.
) I've heard of white EEs and splashes but otherwise I'm clueless.
If anyone has any ideas or guesses please feel free to comment! These are big boys! all are about 8-10 pounds and I was told they are 9 months old. (Also, I treated all three with Ivermec for the mites and have them in quarantine. ) Thank you in advance for your help.
