I would love some help on identifying these hens.

I know the tan one in there is an American her name is Red!

The brown pullet is likely an EE(Easter Egger). Feed stores call the Americanas--not the official name though.

The white ones look like the pullets that I hatched from Whole Foods fertile eggs. They are a leghorn mix.

Oh I know the brown is Ameraucana, her name is Red. The others I thought were Leghorns but they have red ear lobes and lay brown eggs. Leghorns have white ear lobes and white eggs. Hence the reason I have not been able to figure out what what breed they are as of yet....

Thank you for looking and commenting

The Whole Foods pullets will lay brown eggs too.

Yours could be a similar cross--leghorn by a brown breed or they could be hatchery quality white rhode island reds.

If you know what hatchery they came from(If from a feed store, you can check with them to see what they ordered in this year) and match them.

They should lay a lot of eggs for you too.
