Hello there! I'm incredibly new to having chickens, I got them to have house hens, and wanted to make sure I could ID them correctly for proper care!
I have a little flock of four, supposedly all hens, all around 9 - 10 weeks old now, got them April 15th (they already had been at the supplier for several days) -
One seems to be a very small buff Orpington? (Is there a way to tell if she's a bantam? She's so tiny! I don't want her to get bullied, she weighs less than 2 pounds when I hold her in my hand)
Next is what I assume is an ameraucana hen (he was very insistent on "blue eggs") -
Next, I was told by the gentleman selling the chicks that these last two were "all Orpingtons" but, uh, I don't believe him, and I think you'll see what I mean.
I don't have enough knowledge of chickens to determine between all the pictures what my sassy lady is, I'm guessing leg horn?
This last one, I think, is some Ameraucana hen hybrid?
