The tan looks to be a buff cochin. The last one is a barred rock. They do come in bantam too.
The light one with no feathers on the legs could possibly be a bantan EE.
I know, I know there is no beard. Some of mine had no beards but laid pretty green eggs.
The others I am not so sure on.

Thanks for this, it helps. I thought the striped was a Barred rock, but wasn't sure if there were other similar bantam breeds, it's funny how similar some can look.
Do you have bantams and large fowl mixed in your flock? We mostly free range so I'm not concerned about them being small and lower in pecking order, they all have plenty of space, but I don't want to look forward to adoing any pullets to my bunch if that's not recommended, I have various breeds all large fowl, Sussex, Reds, wyandotte and rocks.
 
I'm between Larkspur and Colorado Springs and wanting to sell my 10 month old cuckoo marans cockerel. $15.00 He is great at being a roo and will protect his girls with everything hes got, but not people friendly. Treats his ladies great, no aggressive mounting and probably darn near 100% fertility on all there eggs.
If your interested or have questions please let me know.
 
Luckied,

I do have my bantams in with the big gals. Since you free range you should have less issues then I have had.
My confined wyandottes were rather pushy toward everyone else in the flock.
The head hen in my docile flock is actually the tiniest bantam that is now raising her adopted chicks.

Oh! Oh! Oh!! I have a pic with a brahma and a bantam cochin!

The bantam to the right of the dark brahma is Smudge a very poorly marked silver laced bantam cochin.

I would say that once the wyandottes were out of my flock there have been no issues with behavior.
I am not against wyandottes. Mine just did not handle being confined.

What's the larger silver and black one in the back? The pattern on the chest is neat looking.
 
Is this the one you are asking about?

If so that would be my Dark Brahma. Super mellow hens that is for sure.
Her name is Cinders. She is mid ranking and easy going. This week she weighed in at a solid 9 pounds.
 
Thank you. I am rather fond of her too.
Northern Colorado Feeders Supply in Fort Collins is getting some in for the chicken owners workshop. They are having it on Saturday the 25th. I am tempted.
It is a long drive for you I know. Still, super selection and great people.
 
@21hens-incharge I'll have to wait on more birds as my current coop is nearing its capacity but I'm defiantly going to look into the breed. I've got a list going of the new breeds I want to add in the future. How do the feathered feet do in the snow?

@Barredrocks24 Welcome! Cute looking chicks.

@stain2319 Yeah!
