Its been a year, and i am happy to say that they are all happy, laying girls

Awesome! Is the first one a Buff Orpington? That was my thought on the early picture.

Nope! She is actually a golden comet. She is the most interesting-quirky-friendly chicken I have ever met!

Wondering if the feather pattern on 3 is cuckoo rather than barred?

 

[BarredCometLaced]

She actually did turn out to be a barred rock, as her egg color isn't dark brown and her baring improved as as she got older

Beautiful bird, and really cool picture!
