    I'm confused

    Without knowing more about where the birds came from, I'm thinking they might be California Grays. Hoover's Hatchery has them and I've seen them at Tractor Supply before. https://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/CalGray/BRKCalGray.html https://hoovershatchery.com/California-Grey

    What is happening here?

    In that first picture you can see where the feathers have been plucked where it's bruised. Those wounds will be fine and heal on their own. The issue will be paying close enough attention to them so that it doesn't turn into full-blown cannibalism. One of my first hens turned into a plucker...

    Mystery Rooster

    Considering the size, feathered legs, and comb I would guess Brahma mix.

    Skinny hen

    It sounds to me like she just isn't getting enough to eat for whatever reason (small poops/goes crazy for food and scratch.) Are you sure she isn't being bullied and is getting enough to eat? I had a hen that was losing weight so I paid more attention to them and even though she was up there...

    What are these white round seeds?

    https://starmilling.com/star-milling-incredible-lay-feed/ This appears to be OP's layer feed. Split-green, Austrian, and Canadian peas are listed. Probably Canadian, like @GreenJay mentioned above.

    Breed? 23-24 wks old

    Agree. Probably Welsummer/Legbar mixes.

    Sex and breed help

    It appears to me the "adult" hackle feathers are just starting to grow in and they look pointier to me. Also, on the shoulder, back, and neck where the male feathers are coming in they are a much brighter white color. It also seems to have more of an upright stance. This bird has a pea comb and...

    Laying Early in the Morning . . . REALLY Early!

    I used to have a Leghorn that was the first to lay every single day. Several times I went to the coop before it got light and she already had an egg under her in the nest box. Like others said, that's just the way they are sometimes. 🤷‍♂️

    Sex and breed help

    They all appear to be Easter Egger or Olive Egger mixes with the combination of beards and crests. The bird with the crest in the first picture probably has a Cream Legbar parent. Now for the bad news. They're all cockerels. The uneven/splotchy coloring on them, especially on the shoulders is...

    Midnight Majesty Marans-This bird looks like what one should look like to me, along with laying darker brown eggs. https://hoovershatchery.com/midnight-majesty-marans

    Anyone ever been up Pikes Peak?!?

    I haven't, but Ken Block has. 😲 Over the years I thought it was neat to look at the webcams and see the weather and views and imagine driving up there. I do have a question for you, though. Did you get any donuts? lol If so, were they as good as folks say? Here's a pretty cool article about...

    What chicken breed could they be?

    What do the "wild" chickens in your yard look like? Without knowing that, I'd say they'd be considered a backyard mix. The light brown bird looks kinda leggy and they both have that longer tail so I might guess they could be some type of gamefowl mix. 🤷‍♂️ Also it looks like you have a few boys...

    Breed ID - Adult Hen

    It could possibly be a Calico Princess. The red on them is darker or lighter on some but they all have barring and usually a little black on the neck and tail.
