What breed n gender are we????

[Chickensrock10110]

Hey,
Are those my birds???

They seriously look like the chicks that my neightbor gave me to raise.The chicks he gave me were only a couple days old when I got them.Mine are wild chickens that lost their mother to some sort of predator.I have no idea what breed mine are or yours are but here are my guesses ,Modern game mix (longer legs), gamefowl mix, wild jungle fowl mix? ,my guesses are somewhere between these breeds.


Are yours sort of tame? Mine are completely terrified when I get close.Not as tame as my seramas

I think both are hens, the blk/brn one could be a roo probably a hen though.

Gee I think I've seen one of those girls before and yes I say both are pullets.The combs will be quite small, the guys are very obvious.Here's 2 guys and 2 girls to compare

If they're on the smaller side it would be a bantam Old English Brown or sometimes black Breasted Red.The black is a different variety of OEG,I'd say the brown is a BBR.. They're the sweetest birds I have!

Leads me to believe that the brownish one is a Sebright mix, along with the rose comb.

It does have that semilarities as the sebright in the pic you post while back. As the same time it does have the color pattern of the golden pencile hamburg.
My guess, they are mutt. Cuz you can't have two difference comb in a pure breed batch....Is it possible???

I guess it would depend on how "pure" the stock is. If a bird is from a breeder, it is less likely that this will happen, but what happens in hatcheries most often (especially with rosecombed birds such as sebrights and wyandottes), you may end up with single combed birds. This is because a "double dose" of the rose comb (homozygous) can cause fertility problems and the hatcheries will often use birds that are either single combed or heterozygous (they have a rosecomb, but carry the single comb). So when bred to another heterozygous bird, 25% of the offspring will have single combs. I hope the makes sense.

They're both cockerels, large fowl, and i don't really think Sebright. I think Gamefowl crosses may be pretty close..
