A lady near me is selling a reasonably sized coop (4×4) that looks well built, with a 10' enclosed run, for a very good price, BUT I have to take her chickens.
They are 2 months old, and she os not sure what breed they are. I am going to take a closer look at the coop Tuesday, and may bring it home if it is as nice a shape as it looks.
Any idea about the breeds? These are the only pictures.
I think the brown ones may be Welsummers? There are 2 brown, 2 white, and the black one and the red one.

They are beautiful birds, and would make my rooster to hen ratio much much better.
 
They look like my Welsummers, although the legs seem to be a brighter yellow. That may just be the camera and lighting.

There's a breed I see here in the forums quite a lot that looks very similar to Wellies. I keep forgetting which one. From what I recall it's a more common breed you're likely to find at feed stores. My local feed stores all told me they rarely sell Welsummers. So maybe they're that other breed?

Can you contact the store or farm where she got them and ask about the breeds they were selling two months ago?

Oh, good idea!

It's brown leghorns. I don't think they are old enough to tell ear color yet.
