I am far from an expert, but the yellow one looks like my Salmon Faverolle and the black one with the spot looks like my Barred Rocks. I am really new to this, though, so I could be wrong!

Thanks! upon looking around i think you are right on the first one so not sure on the second 

 

What is strange is that they don't even carry that breed to sell so why would they send one? That confuses me a bit

Ok the furry legged ones have white feathers with some black in there SO i am thinking maybe they are Brahma cause they don't have puffy cheeks either. Also what is this one?

 

It looks like a penguin!!! idunno.gif
