Posts: 7 08/21/08 07:30 PM	Any ideas on the breed of these girls? They all came from Ideal Poultry via the local feed store. The solid white one has gray legs and her skin is gray. When she was a baby chick she was gray with white wings, she eventually became all white. I'm wondering if these yellow ones are buff orpington, I have no idea what the black one is. Is this one a barred rock? Her feet are gray. Is this a brown leghorn? Any assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

The barred rock I'm not sure of, but quite possible. The white one I would say is an americana because of the leg color, but can't really tell from the picture. Does she have a beard?

The dark colored hen with the gold on her breast, she looks to be a dark cornish. The white one looks to be an EE and the barred on is a rock....

I looked up a pic of a golden comet as I had never heard of them......it describes them as red gold and the pic shows a bird with a mix of red and gold feathers.
