Hi!
I just adopted 5 ladies and am curious what breeds they are so I can gain a better understanding of their needs/temperaments and I am just curious. The two red ones I am pretty sure are Rhode Island Reds or mixes. I am unsure what the black one is and am concerned about the loss of head feathers. The other two look like Wyandottes of sorts but I am not positive because they have different combs. Thank you for your help!!

I have included pics below:

Rhode Island Red, and Silver Laced Wyandotte.
The second has a Wyandotte comb too, but I've not seen that pattern before. Interesting. Maybe a cross.
What colour feet does the last one have?
They look to be almost a grey color. She is the most skittish of the bunch so it is hard to get close.

Looks like two Rhode Island reds and I don’t know the all black or greyish/black one. It also looks like you have a silver laced Wyandotte rooster.
Thanks! I am pretty sure they are all ladies because I have 3 eggs this morning and the 2 reds aren't laying yet. That and thank goodness I didn't wake up to a rooster crow this morning ha (neighbors would not be thrilled).
 
Not that one. The other. She has a half-barred, half laced. It’s really cool.
Ah oops!
Yeah she is really unique looking and very cute. Her legs are almost a cream peach looking color. They are also pretty dirty so it is hard to tell.
