alexgirl73 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 Hi I said hello in the newbie section, but I thought I'd ask in here for help identifying my girls. I inherited them a few weeks ago but have no idea what breed they are. Any ideas? Hepzibah and Hermione Hilary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janepie33 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I have a chicken that looks exactly like your darker one and I was told it was an ISA brown when I got it from a local children's farm. They are a French breed, initially bred to be battery hens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgirl73 Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 ah interesting. I've had others say gingernut rangers as well, I may try to get better pics tomorrow and see if that helps. Thanks for replying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJuff Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 The one on the right looks like a Goldline to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 They look like my gingernut rangers, who vary in colour from almost blonde to deep russet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 All the ones mentioned are pretty much the same breed - a rhode island red x light sussex, known as gingernut rangers, goldlines etc. The ISA brown is similar, but has been bred to the stage where it is now a breed in it's own right, rather than a hybrid. They are lovely girls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgirl73 Posted June 30, 2008 Author Share Posted June 30, 2008 brilliant, thanks everyone for your replies. I will go with the majority and say they are Gingernut Rangers (and as my football team is Rangers they fit in very well lol) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
