[CHICKENS-101] Re: Breed?

Dylan, what you are asking is imposable. There are many breeds of chickens with similar markings, particularly in chicks before they get their adult plumage. True they look like Sebrights but then they also look a lot like my Ameraucana. There are over 50 verities of bantams, almost all of which are hy-breds of one type or another. Even after they grow up identification may still be guesswork. I don't see any top knots or evidence of beards, muffs, or tuffs. So that eliminates a whole bunch.
