first flock of adults chickens need help learning what they are

[burchettfrmgrl]

From left to right I suspect is an Easter Egger or maybe a Partridge Wyandotte (need to know leg color), a Red Sex-Link (looks like the roo's favorite), at top right is dark Easter Egger and a blue Brahma.

you say that because of the white feathers?

 

[Peep_Show]

I say that because the white feathers are actually the underfeathers of the hen that are exposed when the rooster tore out the regular red outercoat feathers when mounting the hen (repeatedly). She could benefit from a saddle saver (small coat for hens designed for the purpose of preventing further feather tear out and possible skin breaks which will result in picking and cannibalism) or isolate her from the rooster.

Or it could just be that she's coming out of a molt....

Left to right--that left bird is something partridge--can't see the comb well enough to say, also legs--feathered or not, and color?
next is red sex link
Dark bird on top looks like maybe a Dark Cornish or Barnevelder--again, need better pics
That pretty blue bird isn't a Brahma, she's got a straight comb. That means maybe a Marans, although they're not usually so fluffy, or more likely a cochin, maybe mixed as they're usually more rounded.

Individual pics. profile shots including comb and legs are best for breed id.

OK thx and the blue one is the only one w furry legs I'm wanting to get her her own roo eventually and separate breeds a bit. Everybody really like her and the top hat one we named Madonna. And since I got an incubator full of hopefully fertile eggs I blocked hugh hef the big roo to his own coop to give the girls a rest

I don't know if it was angle of pic but she isn't really that white when standing up. Also I need to learn more about molt because several aren't laying. I have 11 or 12 adukt hens and I'm getting maybe 4 eggs a day.

Would anyone know what the rooster is. He is like the most regular type if chicken right? I'm such a newbie. He has been fertilizing my one Guinea hen I have wondering if there would be much interest for them if I decided to incubate and sell them?

 

[burchettfrmgrl]

The white crested Polish is à hen right?

 

[Peep_Show]

Unless the birds are aged the egg production will probably pick up as Spring goes along. Chickens need 14 hours of light (daylight or artificial) to trigger laying, which is why winter and this time of year are usually down times in egg production.

Found theyre stash spot of eggs. Cant wait to see what the babies im incubating look like.

Your blue hen looks like a Cochin. Since she has feathered legs and a straight comb, that would be my guess.
