Quote:
Red Sex Links are a cross of a RIR roo over a Rhode Island White hen, and they are called sex links because you can tell what sex they are based on their coloring, females one color, males another. They are bred to be egg laying machines!!

On your blue laced red, it's likely a wyandotte cross, but may be a different kind, there are a couple of breeds that have that coloring, EE's are a cross of two breeds, usually an Araucauna or Ameracauna (two different breeds, but often mistaken for one) mixed with something else. The Araucauna or Ameracauna mix is where the blue or green egg gene comes from. EE's can lay any color egg because they can be any mix. They also do not have a "standard", and almost always have green legs. Hope this helps. Feel free to ask more questions!!

Ok, slow breathe...studley is a cross mix:RIR roo with a "white" RI hen... my laced IS A WYANDOTTE, but mixed? and if my chickens..."any" of them have green legs they have EE in them???

what is smokey??? ok, if I take a clear picture of each and everyone one of them Im questioning can you give me more info. maybe?...Im so lost...the guy who sold us the pullets had NO WYANDOTTE on the property...all he had were leghorns and EE's...THATS IT...and he told us that was what we were getting. so far Ive been getting dark dark brown eggs, up until yesterday I now have 3 green eggs and there small.

thank so much...my buffs are hatching and Im beat....lol and they came from a breeder, and I see blondish/orange fuzz...lol

Jewels is an EE, not a wyandotte. She may have some wyandotte in her background, but an 'easter egger' is the type of chicken she is.
Blue-laced red is a color, not a breed. Jewels is a very pretty 'blue-laced red easter egger' and one of your green egg layers. Sunshine is also an easter egger and another green egg layer. These EEs account for the 'ameraucanas' he sold you - many people don't know the difference.

Orpingtons are large, rounded birds - since you thought seller sold you cuckoo marans, maybe Maybelline is a splash marans and/or Negrita is a blue marans instead of orps. That would explain the dark, dark eggs you've been getting.

Smokey might be a mix and could be laying brown or green eggs - You said you found 3 green eggs - if they were all laid on the same day, then she is probably the 3rd culprit. If one of her parents was an EE she may or may not lay green eggs. Her comb is kind of strange - not a straight comb like most of your other breeds or a pea comb like the EEs.

Your rooster are: white leghorns, RIR, and a red sexlink (which may be the 'production red' the seller claimed to have sold you). Production reds & red sexlinks are not the same, but I have seen them be confused for each other before. Red stars are another name for red sexlinks and you can use that term for your white rooster if you prefer. The ones with white tails are probably mixes.

You did good - beautiful chickens and nice variety - dark eggs is also a plus.

Wow, I agree with the others. I would be proud to have a flock as good looking as that.
