Not sure of breeds of my hens

[RioLindoAz]

the first one could be a Buff orpington the second ones are RIRs and a cuckoo Maran Rooster and the third can be a silver spangled hamberg

......But I might not be right

I took a quick trip to Feathersite. She looks exactly like the Buff Minorcas there so I change my vote to Buff Minorca. Good call Ella.

Rooster Red,
If you have a Blue Andalusian rooster, they could make some beautiful babies. I have some Andalusian/Buff Orpington crosses that are very pretty. Minorcas and Andalusians are similiar in body type. Leg color is different on the buffs though.

I think your Barred Rock is a Cuckoo Maran

Cuckoo Marans don't have yellow legs as far as I have seen. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm confused!

Hatchery stock Minorcas do not always have floppy combs. I had 4 of them and none flopped.
Buff Minora definetly and also the other one is a Silver Spangled Hamburg.
The reds are either New Hampshire's or Rhode Islands.

I was told by the former owner that they were RIR's, but they have pink feet and I thought RIR's have yellow.

Older layers will have bleached out legs- turning from yellow to pinkish. When they stop laying the color returns.

New Hampshires tend to be more yellow buff than RIR's which tend to be more chestnut or mahogany. I think they look more Rhode Is. Red -ish, but I wouldn't bet anything on it.

Sounds like a good call to me, I'm going to call them rhode island reds.

They are my best hens. the plumper of the two, Agatha, follows me around the yard like a dog, wants to be picked up, rides around on my shoulder and to date has never pooped on me .

One more thing...I know Black Minorcas lay white eggs. Do buff one's also lay white? Might be one more indicator.
