The first on look like she might be some kind of Cream Legbar cross  What colour eggs does she lay?
There are piccies of pure Cream legbars   here (http://www.blue-eggs.co.uk)

Looks like they have feathery feet (second and third pictures) and shape of tail reminds me of a pekin but could do with a photo from the side as it's difficult to see their shape/size from this angle.


Look at pekins on the net ..... they are easy to identify if they are peeks  ;D

None are laying at the moment so don't know egg colour. Have looked at a few Pekins but couldn't find anything that seemed to look similar. The black one has got feathery feet and legs. All are only quite tiny. Will try get some more pictures.
Thanks for the help :-)

Are you sure they are pure breeds?


We have some small hens with feathery feet and crests ..... araucana X pekins.


Can be very difficult to tell.

golden one looks like a Welsummer, very nice brown eggs, or could be a marsh daisy, they are rare so unlikely, they lay wee white eggs, don't know what the black lass is.
