We are new here…and new to chickens. Please help us identify our breed (and gender) on a few of our babies. We got a few of them from a local chicken lady who thought most were Marans and a few olive Eggers. We also bought a few from TSC, so we know the breeds on those. I’d love your input on the mystery chicks. Also, can you tell if they are roosters or hens? The suspense is killing us! Those up for question are …
- Ollie (supposedly an olive egger but looks like many of the Marans?) The oldest of the bunch by about 2 weeks. See his/her friends in one of the pics? They all look very much alike.
- Marge from the same lady with the Marans but looks very different. Beautiful black and gray coloring. Slightly smaller.
- Erma - bought from TSC as an erminette. The youngest of the bunch and yet very aggressive from bri going her home. Is she a he?
- Penny - from the Maran source but has more of an orange comb. Looked like a penguin when she was smaller, thus the name. Rooster? Breed?
- And finally, Princess. Any idea what breed she is? She is just beautiful! One of our favorites!
Thank you all so much! We are hoping for more hens in our flock of 20 but we are suspecting we have at least 7 roosters (of course we love them too). Excited to read your comments!
