Can anyone help me ID these breeds from my friend’s flock? :)

A friend of mine recently acquired some new chickens and asked if I could help ID the breeds, but I’m not 100% sure. They look like a welsummer/legbar and maybe a Cochin/australorp/Japanese? What do y’all think?

Mutts…? That’s what they appear to be. But we need leg color, egg color, etc

The white one is defines a Silkie. As for the other ones you could go on a hatchery website and look for chickens that look alike.

Yeah, I’m pretty good at breed ID’ing most standard and some rare breeds but I also assumed these were mixed. She said they were “Japanese” which didn’t clarify a whole lot for me lol. I’m guessing the person she got the eggs from wasn’t being completely honest or didn’t know what they were talking about either. Or it could be a breed I haven’t encountered yet. Thanks for your input!

That hen appears to be a bantam and has an entirely different build than a Marans.

How can you tell with it sitting down like that?

Look at coarseness of face and type. Here are comparison pictures of Golden Cuckoo Marans versus Crele Old English Game Bantam:

Being a bantam is essentially dwarfism which shows in their physical traits
