peachypie Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Hi, We have 6 new pullets which need identifying, if anyone can give us any insight into what they may i would be very grateful. They are about 5-6 weeks old. There were 3 large buff coloured eggs and 3 very small white eggs if thats any help. The one that has the mohican has some very light feathering on her/his legs and 5 toes. All the rest have 4 toes. Here is the link to the pictures https://picasaweb.google.com/refreshinglylight/Chickens?authkey=Gv1sRgCOXd58Cv_7ujZQ&feat=directlink Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 they all look quite cross bred, no real features stand out as being pure bred for example number 4 looks like a mismarked silver laced wyandotte but the legs arent the right colour Number one looks like a sweetie and I like number three too. The one with the hairdo is a silkie cross hence the hairdo and five toes Whatever they are they all look very healthy Number 2 is almost certainly male though and I would question whether number six may be too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I bow down to Redwing's vastly superior knowledge . I have no idea but they're all very cute . Welcome to the forum, by the way . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peachypie Posted May 30, 2011 Author Share Posted May 30, 2011 Ah thank you for that, we kind of thought they were crossbreeds but no idea exactly. We have a couple of pure breeds and let one of them sit on these eggs when she went broody. Is it possible to tell who is male/female by the way they fight? As number 5 fights with his/her feet!

Daphne Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 No1 looks like it could have buff orp in it; although the absence of tail is slightly odd! It does look rather sweet Boys and girls can fight with their feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostock422 Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I also think the second one is a male Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
