The only breed I can pick out is the RIR. Could someone please point out what chickens are which crosses? I'd really appreciate it! :)

The R.I. Red isn't the best could even be hatchery stock, the rest of the birds are either hatchery stock or cross bred.

Note --
Hatchery stock can be considered "cross bred" since most hatcheries have cross there stock to be feather sexed at birth.

The only bird that might come close to being "Heritage" is the R.I. Red.
