Hello! I'm hoping for some help in some chicken identification! My mom purchased some chickens and then ended up giving them to me and my family. I've really grown to love them but id like to know their breeds so I can know what to expect. I've identified one but have three others I'm unsure about. These three are not quite old enough to lay.
Henrietta: they told my mom she was a chocolate (I assume that's just coloring) she had a nice pronounced red wattle and comb. Her legs are brown as is her beak. She's so fluffy and fluffed up early on. She's very shiny with a gorgeous sheen.
Then there is goose- with a face only a mother or owner could love. They said she's splash- which again seems to be coloring not breed. I thought she was a rooster for a while because of those darn legs. Long- a little bigger- no down featuring around them- just little feathers around the top- maybe a longhorn? She's not the sweetest to the others- she's pecked at a few of the others.
Lastly there is chicken- she's an actual chicken-'easily frightened but sweet. She's gray with a pale pink wattle and comb- though she doesn't have much of a comb at all. Her legs are gray. They told my mom she was a lavender Olaf (yes-like the snowman off frozen- I imagine she heard incorrectly.)
Thank you so much!!

" she only paid $15 for our Australorp and she is the only one laying and lays everyday so I'm not sure if cost matters when it comes to eggs! Now that I have a better idea of what I may have I can read up on their breed and egg production! TY!
