Colblimp Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Would anyone be able to give me the fancy name for this type of hen/chicken? Thanks, in anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Niels Quist Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Probably not easy - they are young, and chosen breed seems to depend on many things. Maybe you should try a local hen party https://www.farmfowl.com/keeping-chickens-in-ireland/ http://www.irishfowl.com/irish-poultry-breeders.php http://www.irishfowl.com/talk/topic-26406.html?c=5 Niels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Could be young Buff Orpington. Allan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Could they be young Warrens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Heinrich Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Could be Rhode Island Red hens - very common and easy to keep dual purpose meat/eggs chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inchiquin Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 My guess would be young Rhode Island Reds. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 I was looking at the almost white tail tip. I know Warrens have that, but I don't know that the others don't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
