Breed Confirmations on Pullets

MaggieMoo21 · Jun 26, 2022

Our girls are about 18 weeks old and I was wondering if y'all could help confirm their breeds. There are 5 ladies. Pretty sure we have a cuckoo maran, black sex link, easter egger, silver laced wyandotte, and possibly a rhode island red. The rir just seems a lot smaller than the others even though as a chick she grew the fastest.

I'm seeing a Barred Rock, two Easter Eggers, a Sliver Laced Wyandotte, and some sort of production breed (the brown one).

Cuckoo Marans or Barred Rock: I can't decide if I'm seeing white feet (Marans) or yellow feet (Rock).

Black Sex link: do you mean the one with a gold head & neck, dark tail, and mixed colors in between? Black Sexlinks usually have a lot more black and less gold, so I think she's more likely to be an Easter Egger.

Easter Egger: I think there are two of those.

Silver Laced Wyandotte: agree.

Rhode Island Red: yes, or maybe a "Production Red" which is similar to a Rhode Island Red, but selected to lay more eggs and the hatchery doesn't care much about appearance and size.
