Aye Ko shamo, this is the result of the clutch I had your advise about. The belgian I think is a cock, the lavenderish one is dutch, and a cock again I think. From a trio of whites, but the breeder had suspected they weren't 100% pure.
The cuckoo I am sure is a java as that's the only breed he has this colour, but don't know sex.

The lavender doesn't look like a dutch to me mate.....not enough tail. Softfeather aint my thing though so could be wrong.

Any chance of it being a cross ?

I was looking over some TB's today and i was amazed at the tails on the dutch at such a young age.

I'd agree on the cuckoo being a rosecomb (java)

Not a cross, all birds are penned by breed in trio. Unless the parents are crossed and he didnt know. Colour to the feathers isn't uniform some yellowy feathers to it.

Only chicken place I have used is backyard chickens, but thats an american site. will look into that one though.

It's my first chicken clutch so I am not up on id ing them yet, and they were a lucky dip clutch. Still only want a couple of sebrights though haha

Wee fella is a little banged up, the hen who hatched them give hin a pecking and took off a load of feathers. Hen is being rehomed because she keeps doing it. Been a good bird since I got her but this is no good to me. Good layer, broody and rearer just to much for me. Happy to swap for a chick or a layer.

You know your stuff, was taking to the breeder yesterday. It's from a laenvelder hen and a white dutch cock bird. Trying to breed the laenvelders down a bit.
