Purchased 8 female “rare breed assortment” from my pet chicken, they are approximately 5 1/2 weeks, any idea what they are
1st picture is one of 2 that I have, hard to get close to these girls very skiddish and quite large , 2nd one I only have 1 as her sister didn’t make it, extremely docile and loves to coo and cuddle, slight feathering around her legs, 3rd pic I have 2, this one super sweet and loves to be held and very curious , her sis not too much, last pic I have 2, pretty docile and quite large with feathered legs……thanking all in advance, 1st time with chickens, Runner Ducks well that’s another story but all are happy and healthy

#2 looks like a Black or Black Copper Marans- they typically have gold eyes and are meant to have pink legs. #3 looks like an Exchequer Leghorn- they can be calm (for a leghorn). #4 looks like a Gold Cuckoo Marans- cool/rare addition!! #1 looks like some kind of barred or cuckoo pullet- really hard to tell much more than that from the photo (dark, clean legs, dark eyes... may be a mix of some sort).

Could #1 be an olive egger?
 
Thanks for your responses, they certainly have been a nice addition to our home (3 mini Nubian goats, 5 Indian Runner ducks+3 more ducklings this week) if I could only get them to get in the coop on their own at night……..
