You know one of these days I am going to have to learn how to correctly post things. I am always in to big of a hurry...so sorry for the wrong placement of the previous post.

Hard to tell with out seeing individual pictures...but my guess would be...

Back bird looks like it is a Barred Rock.
Middle bird could be a Delaware, Columbian Rock, or Columbian Wyandotte if it has a rose comb.
Front bird could be White Rock, White Leghorn and or a couple others that are white.

I am thinking they are probably hatchery stock?
 
The color of my cl eggs would change from week to week. they are never consistent and it had nothing to do with the time of season. I've had amazing blue eggs before and a few days later I get blue greens. most ive noticed are blue greens. its probably just something to add to the list of goals.

Cream legbars are worth the money. I bought mine for £15 each (UK) I got them when they were POL. They layed since the day I got them. Really friendly bird aswell. :)

i only have one CL girl, but her eggs do the same thing -- sometimes more blue, sometimes more green. her first egg (back in january) was a nice clear sky blue:

We are having a very odd summer, it was 53 degrees this am and we have struggled to get into the 70's each day. Seems like fall is here already, after a long cold spring, then 2 weeks of high 80's, now back to fall temps.
Well, isn't the UP -- like right next to the arctic circle LOL..... one summer I worked on Elk Lake (White Birch Lodge) not far from Traverse City - it is sooooo beautiful there. If we could just share - add my 111 to your 53 and it would be great for all our chickens.
 
I noticed where there is some soiling the eggs are a little green did you try wiping them off to see if they are blue under soiling also you might try adding carratoids to their diet (antioxident ) avaliable in orange yellow and purple fruit there hwas a study released recently tracking the egg laying coloration of the (blue footed booby) who lays blue eggs and the scientists were able to acheive a higher colorsaturation of blue (darker color) relative to the caritoid increase achieving a darker color even mid or late cycle in comparison to the start (where its usuaally darker to start) i feed mine marigold pettals or (calendula) they are not crazy about fruit.
