Hi Larry,

The top pictures look like they could be "plymouths", the lower ones look like a "light sussex" hen i used to keep.

There are so many crosses and mixtures these days its quite difficult to tell.

If you google " poultry standards" there are quite a few sites giving pictures of the pure breeds.

Good luck ,
April

Murray McMurray Hatchery has chick pictures with the pictures of the adult chickens. I have a catalog but the website has pics also I think.

Could be anything right now though. ;)
