First time hen owner :)

Hey all, new to chickens here. Just got these ladies last week. What I was told they are and what I believe they are from my own research are different, I am curious as to what you all think these ladies are!

I think black and white is a silver Laced Wyandotte (which is in fact what I was told she was). She does have a single comb though.

The brown one I was told was a Ameruacana. I haven't gotten any blue eggs (they have been here for a week) one egg has had the ever so slightest blue tint but not sure which hen that one came from).

The bigger cream colored one I was also told Ameraucana, but that can't be right. She lays nice medium brown eggs. She has a single comb.

The little one (last pic) I was told was a Sicilian Buttercup (crown is single comb so I doubt it unless she is mixed). She lays only ever so slightly smaller eggs than the rest of them and they are white eggs.

I got them from a friend of a friend who has a big backyard farm with lots of different animals/poultry. Any thoughts on indentifying them would be great. Thanks!!!

Could someone tell me what a Silver Laced Wyantroppe is? I only know what a Silver Laced Wyandotte is.

That's okay! I just thought that since it in the comment by another person, it might be something.

All of those look to me like mixes. Or else they are just extremely poorly bred. The last one could be a silver campine, but she is probably mixed, cause she has white legs.

What has likely happened is that the seller has a mixed flock of "purebred" birds and they're selling the offspring as the same breed as whatever adult they most closely resemble. Obviously, this isn't exactly honest but I've seen the same scenario a number of times.
