Anyone recognise these?

[rachelr]

PS I meant their breed not their names!!!!!

[rachelr]

Not forgetting the white one!!

[rachelr]

Or the one with its own crash helmet

Can't give you any help with the breeds, I'm afraid, but they are gorgeous 

[andreadon]

what bantam said.

I can't think of any names, but goergeous chickens!

[GrannieAnnie]

Are they cross breeds Rachel?  Brown one looks like our Babcocks, which are same as Columbian blacktails.  Black one looks a bit like the black rock type of breed, light one possibly faverolle?  And pom pom one, poland?  Or maybe silkie cross/poland?

But I'm probably totally wrong!  

[Helenaj]

The light one looks like a Salmon Faverolle, but I can't see the face fully or the legs. If it is the face should have "sideburns" and the legs are feathered.

[rachelr]

they are all supposed to be full breeds not crosses. I thought the white one might be a faverolle as she has five toes but as yet no feathers.

I was told the brown one was a light sussex and the black one was a male bt they are only 9 weeks and i have no idea I soooooo hope they are all females or the males will not be here.

These are the only survivors of 12 babies who i believe have been brough on in a contaminated incubator. They are cute arent they and it will break my heart if any are boys lol

I've just gained two bantams - cockerel & hen. He is the quietest cockerel I have ever seen. In the past few days he has managed one half-hearted attempt to crow! She is definitely in charge!

Anyway  - anyone any idea what breed they are?

Rachel, a light sussex is white with black neck and tail feathers.  possibly a brown sussex??

These were some of my Light Sussex

The boy looks a bit like a welsummer boy to me, and again the little girl has salmon faverolle colouring!

I was wondering if the all black one could be a buff orpington lype breed. Is there such a thing as a black orpington as he/she is very stocky

[GrannieAnnie]

Yes there is a black orpington, so it could be one of them!  But I think black orpingtons are black all over, although never seen a young one.  Your black one actually looks like its got laced feathers.  Which are very pretty!


mmmm, what do you think???
