The lighter brown with the eyeliner and I'm assuming redish chest, is probably a welsummer pullet. Do any have slate colored legs?

Where did you get the chicks?
Private party? Maybe a mixture of diferent breeds..
Nothing wrong with that. .hybrids lay great.. my hybrids generally out perform my purebred flocks.. I'd recommend replacing hybrids every 2 years .hybrids lay alot eggs first 2 years.. but then burn them self out and slow down. .
Comercial egg laying flocks generally are all hybrids. .

Yes, I got them from a private party. Its not really a huge deal to me on whether they are hybrids or not ;) Totally new to this whole chicken experience and was just curious as to what kind of chickens they are :)
Thanks for the info! Much appreciated! :)
