Hi! I have a number of rescue hens I’m having trouble identifying their breed or mix. Generally they came from relatives of the owners so they couldn’t provide much info on their identity. Some others I’m hoping to get confirmation on their breed

NOTES:
- 1&2 came together, at least one lays small olive eggs
- 3&4 came together with a barred rock not pictured

(1) araucana? ameraucana?
feathers: blue wheaten?
feet: slate/green?
comb: pea

(2)
feather: black w blue/green sheen
feet: black

big dolly looking eyes (or just dark brown)

1 is an Easter Egger, she's laying your small olive eggs.
2 is a Black Australorp.
3 appears to be a Blue Plymouth Rock.
4 appears to be a Brown Leghorn, especially if she lays a white egg almost daily.
I'm not sure about 5. I'm not that familiar w/ bantam breeds but someone will know.
