It looks like you have two hens. The light one looks to be a silver hen. The dark one looks to be a golden pearl hen

thank you for this piece of information

You're welcome. You should be getting eggs from them soon. If you have small kids, or know someone who does, the eggs make healthy, fun treats when boiled. Not much for cooking with tho.

Also, you can boil their eggs, crush them up egg shell and all, and feed them back to your hens to help replace calcium and protein they lose during egg laying.

The two on the left are a definite pair,the male in the back. The tuxedos are harder to tell. Does the dark one have any red feathers on it's belly or vent?

It has red brown feathers
