Silver Phoenix or Silver Leghorn? (pic heavy)

[justmeandtheflock]

I ordered both from McMurry but since these guys looked identical as chicks I thought I only got one or the other. 1st I assumed they were the silver phoenix but once they atarted to feather out I decided they were all silver leghorns. Now I am all sorts of confused

What are they and why? TIA Oh, they are 10 weeks old.

Chick 1

Chick 2

Chick 3

yellow legs, looks like a leghorn........

Yep I think the first is a Silver Leghorn because of the yellow legs and the second and third are silver phoenixes because of the slate colored legs

Here is a pic of our 5 month old Phoenix Hen :

Hope this helps! The leg color is a big giveaway between them and the leghorns; also the Phoenix hens tail feathers will be longer.

Yes again I agreee. I would love to see these birds when they are older because I was thinking of getting some of these from McMurray next year. The silver leghorns are said to be 'especially nice in color and body type'

ETA Nice birds all of them

chick 1 is a leghorn (Yellow legs)
chick 2 and 3 could be Phoenix

The first few pics....Looked just like my Silver Dorking, but I could've had a Phoenix and just thought it was a Dorking!!

#1 is sliver leghorn
#2 is a sliver pheonix
# 3 looks mixed to me. Looks nothing like a pheonix

Thanks for the input!!! I guess I should pay more attention to the leg color next time

Glad I still have 1 of each of the pullets becaue I have sold a few thinking they were all the same and I had too many

Could he be golden Phoenix? I just checked McMurrys site and they just say Phoenix, not silver.
