I'm not entirely certain. My wife picked them up at Estes, and I have been trying to puzzle it out. I definitely have 5 Dutch brown leghorn hens. They are the prettiest. I'm pretty sure that I have 5 black Australorp hens. They certainly match the description well. I'm less sure of the 5 New Hampshire Reds. Four are hens and one is a suprise Rooster. We call him Mr. Hen, because he was supposed to be a hen. He just started crowing, but I think he needs practice. Then I have 5 mysteries. They look like mutts to me. They have yellow heds and orange bodies, but they vary quite a bit in spotting and the amount of yellow.

I thi k some Easter Eggers look like that

Are their legs sort of greenish  or grey? Do they have bigger eyes than the rest?. I have some  EE's but mine are brown  now at 4 months with rust heads and necks  but i think they can be yellow too grown. Mine  had a couple  stripes when baby chicks and each  marked a little different than the others

Here is one of mine at 3 weeks old.the heads and necks turned a dark rust now.See her big eyes?
