Before I ask my question, I have to say THANK YOU for all your wisdom! I visit the site fairly regularly but don't often post. Kind of a silent stalker. :) Anyway...

My wife and I have had our girls since last May. The family that gave us the hens told us some basic info about them, but we never wrote anything down and I quickly forgot nearly everything about the hens. I remember hearing names of breeds, and I thought I had them all figured out, but now I'm not so sure. Any help?

If y'all could double check the first three gals (pretty sure we know what they are), as well as help me figure out the last two (Thea and Agnes... not really sure)... we'd really appreciate the help!

#1
Gertrude.jpg

Pretty sure Gertrude is an Australorp.

#2
Beatrice.jpg

Again, 99% sure that Beatrice is an Australorp.

#3
Eunice.jpg

99% sure Eunice is a Barred Rock.

#4
Theodora.jpg

Thea is a _______. ?

#5
Agnes.jpg

Agnes is a _______. ?


Again, thanks in advance for all your help and knowledge.

You are correct on the first two. The third one is a cuckoo maran. You can tell because, cuckoos have white legs, and barred rocks have yellow. Thea is a Easter Egger, and Agnes is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. All your hens are beautiful!
