5 Rescue Hens: help with breeds pls

*HappyMtn =why is the white one a white rock not leghorn? Just simply out of curiosity....

Here's my (hatchery) white rock. Nothing special- except that she's the best chicken ever! Leghorns have a different shape and white earlobes. Your rescue girl look like she has faded red ears. Leghorn girls also have big floppy combs that lean to one side.

But #4 does look like she has white earlobes.
I was thinking she is either poor show quality or mixed Leghorn.

#1 and #2 Red sex links
#3 Easter egger
#4 Leghorn (Some of mine don't have combs that are flopped over)
#5 Mutt bantam (I think)
 
I still don't think the white one is a leghorn- but you'll know for sure if she lays an egg for you. Brown would be a rock, white would be a leghorn. The game hen should lay smaller white eggs too. (I have rocks & leghorns)
