I ordered 2 white barred rocks, 2 buff orphingtons and 1 easter egger -- ALL hens. I'm pretty sure I have 1 EE and 1 buff - both hens. But what are the other 2 and their combs are developing much larger than the 1st 2. All were picked up from the farm store on April 18th so they aren't but maybe 7 weeks old. The 2 I don't know, I think are Long Island Reds. And I am hoping that breed develops combs quicker than other breeds. The tail feathers on all 4 birds are straight up. If not for their heads, you wouldn't know one from the other. I tried to grab a side picture tonight but they were just a bundle of energy and then my phone went dead. Tell me what you think PLEASE --- and THANK YOU in advance.
Here's the little flock:
Here's one of the 2 I don't know - breed or sex. The combs are not as red as they appear here. And the hangy waffly part under the chins aren't much more developed than the other 2 birds.
