Laid in GB Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I was given the eggs and hatched them, but have no idea what they are. Any help much appreciated. (Theres about ten in total, that I don't know what they are.) Thanks in advance. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amateurkeeper Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 They are beautiful, and look like Black Rock Hybrids, or possibly Welsummers....but someone with more experience might come along soon with a different opinion Congrats on your eggs hatching! How old are they now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laid in GB Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 I think they are about 9/10 weeks old, (I lost count...) It's funny because I've got 12 birds altogether, all hatched at the same time, from some eggs that were given to me. And they are all different apart from two of them. But I don't have a clue to what any of them are... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 They look like the offspring from a mixed flock The one in the top pic look like hybrid crosses and the one with the tuft on its head has some Silkie blood it it I would imagine They arent pure breeds but they look good and healthy and growing well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollie333 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The first one doesn't have a funny hairdo, and looks more like A Black Rock Hybrid Then the secand one looks a bit like a Cream Legbar Hen So maybe a cross between the both? Same breed of mum, Black rock, and maybe a legbar dad? OR they may be some Silkie in her. I had a pair of Silkie x Pekins who looked like this, they was beautiful. Heres a picture Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJChick Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 Hi The second picture in your first post looks quite like Silkie X Welsummers I got yesterday. Mine are slightly darker and less tan coloured feathers but similary hairdos. Lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The bearded one is lovely, some Silkie or Sultan blood in there for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migsy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The other white one looks like my Amber Star and the fluffy white one looks a bit like a Sultan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The last pic on the first post looks like a black and tan aracuana Saw them at thornes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 I am right molly cause I remember looking at them And it don't look like a sultan cause not the full crest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migsy Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 The one on the left in your first pic could be a bit Ancona? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laid in GB Posted August 17, 2010 Author Share Posted August 17, 2010 The one on the left in your first pic could be a bit Ancona? Got to love the heinz 57 chickens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 The one on the left in your first pic could be a bit Ancona? Doesn't really look like an Ancona - wrong shape and colouring. I thought the first one was a black rock cross, ditto some silkie in the second one. I thought a sultan cross, second one looks like a bantam so too small to be a white/amber star? The second one doesn't look the right shape to be an araucana to me either - doesn't look the same as mine at that age... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I swear the second white one is a plymouth rock bantam it is on the breeds list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
