Unsecure chicken perches

[francesca88]

Hello

 

I bought three new bantams from a farm up the road this afternoon, however I don't know what breeds they are!

 

 

 

 

I think the last one may be a Partridge Wyandotte, and the first a cochin? She has feathery feet. But the middle one I'm not sure about - am thinking possibly a cross between a speckled sussex and something else?

 

Any help would be much appreciated! Sorry for lack of decent pictures, was trying not to stress them out too much!

No idea but they look lovely! Am sure an expert will be along soon with some more helpful words /comments. Hope they settle in well for you.

I agree, they are beautiful, but I can't identify them - sorry!

I'm thinking the first 2 are pekins but I'm no expert! Lovely though

[Plum]

I put my money on pekins and a wyandotte. Congratulations they are lovely

[Chortle Chook]

These are really beautiful. Shows me that it doesn't really matter what breed chickens are. They are just lovely.

Another one who has no idea . They are so pretty though .

Changed my mind, first one bantam orp? They can all come and stay with me

Haha, sorry - they're all mine And I think you might be right about her being a bantam orp!

I think:

Red pekin bantam

Speckled Sussex bantam

Gold pencilled Wyandotte bantam

Don't know I'm afraid.............but very lovely

Oooooow lovely!!!

Think I'm experiencing 'Morehens' !!

No expert by any means, but your first one looks a very similar shape to my Agnes & Esme; with the feathery feet you've mentioned, I'd guess at Pekin

 

no idea on the others though - inclined to agree with previous suggestions of a speckled Sussex (looks right colour-wise!) and pencilled 'dotte

 

They are absolutely gorgeous though; starting to feel morehens coming back again, which is probably a good thing really...

The first one looks Pekin like but probably not pure Pekin, it isnt quite correct

 

the second one looks like it has a beard so isnt a sussex, its possibly a Belgian D'Uccle if it has feathery legs

 

The third is as you suspect - a gold partridge Wyandotte bantam

 

(Wyandottes are the best! )

Having googled Belgian d'Uccle, I think you may be right - she does have an impressive set of sideburns to go with the beard too!
