Well, a friend of mine is moving to Colorado. He could not take his chickens, so I have them now. There are 13 hens and a rooster. I am very excited about them. The only thing he could tell me is that the white & black ones are light brahmas. He thinks there are some Araucanas. They were his ex-wife's chickens and he doesn't know much about them. They all lay either brown, blue, or khaki color eggs.

If anyone can help out with breed identifications, I sure would appreciate it!

The black hen in front in this pic seems to have a tufty head. There is a light brahma behind her to the right, and then to her left behind her, there is a hen with sort of partridge coloration and lacing?

This is Allie. I was told she is a dark cornish-black orpington cross. She lays brown eggs. They are usually double yolkers. I am not sure on that cross though...
