A black and white Barred Rock (we have 4 or 5 of these). They are supposed to be good egg layers so they may have been saved from an untimely death.

Then we have about 3 black chickens with black feet. I think these look like the Ameraucana's. They are the only ones I can find that have the black feet that look like this. Also I think our yellow chickens might be this breed too.

Then we have some red chickens (Roosters mostly)and I think they are Buckeyes. They are starting to get the green tails.

It is all very interesting and a learning process for sure. Hopefully soon we will have chickens in the freezer and egg layers>

Well, at least you'll have some egg layers. They should be old enough now that you have a decent guess of whether they are roosters or hens, right? ;)
I love the barred rock. I think they are kinda pretty/neat looking! So at least now you know why your chickens weren't getting very big.
