Anyone have an idea what I have?

You did get quite an assortment! These are really healthy looking birds. You & your daughter seem to be good chicken wranglers!

Forgive Pinkie, she was injured and the anti-peck solution turned her back pink! Maybe she'll be white again after she molts!

Oh my, those are so beautiful!! And thank you for your kind words. I have spent the past months crash-coursing on how to care and provide for chickens. I check their feed every day, change the water every other day, and clean the coop every Sunday. I also give them 'play time' outside of the Chicken Run that I built. I know my biggest issue is that my Chicken Run is 12x10, and I have 20 chickens. Its too small, according to people here, and I cannot disagree with them because they're far more knowledgeable than I am in these things. So one way I like to off-set the space issue is that in the afternoons and evenings after work, I will go outside and let them out of the run to move about the yard. I stay with them, of course, and the yard is fenced in. So far, this seems to work, and when the sun goes down, they all head back to the Run and Coop anyways where I happily lock them in for the night (Coop, always locking up the Coop). I don't know how well this will work by the time they are full sized, but I will do what I can to keep them safe, and happy!

A few of mine have pink spots right now because I gave them some cold strawberries yesterday.

My youngest leghorns are messy.

She was the roosters favorite and he tore her up pretty badly. Needless to say old Randy moved to a nearby ranch with a bigger flock. AND I learned a lesson, my husband calls "body count" - having enough hens for a busy rooster.

Meet "Patches". All I know is that this is not a Barred Rock.

it may be a Blue or Lavender Orpington due to it's grey legs.

At least 8-9 hens per rooster. (Shoulda kept the roo, and add more hens)

They'll do well in the fenced yard, hopefully the yard doesn't suffer too much! Once they get a bit larger they'll be safe from the cats, but dogs are my big worry.

The white with black neck feathers is a Brahma. They are quite a bit larger than other hens.

It doesn't have feathered legs, so it's not a brahma.

10x20 yard, house sized for 4 hens, and both of us working. I loved him, and he was gorgeous,

but he hated me. I can't say how nice it is to hang with my hens without having to constantly watch my back for that guy! I got 2 more hens instead.
