Hi! I have three one year old white hens that came as part of the Murray McMurray brown egg layer bundle I bought a year ago. All white, yellow legs, brown eggs, docile. Posting a few pics... Anyone know what breed they are?

I just looked up some pictures of Silver Spangled Hamburg and he/she looks exactly like the pictures I'm finding. The legs do have a blue color to them, but almost mixed with a little orange/yellow.
Thanks!
I received an exotic chick as part of my order and I'm hoping you all can help me determine what chick I have.
The chick's info:
- 4 days old
- very curious, more so than the rest of the Red Stars I received
- seems to have a black undertone on either the skin or base of the feathers, but has...
Hi all!
I have been lurking on the Backyard Chicken site for a few months now, but am just officially joining. I received my first order of chicks on Wednesday (hatched Monday) - 15 Red Stars and 1 Exotic Chick, which I'm still trying to figure out what breed it is.
