I bought my four girls as chicks in November. I was told the white one was a light brahma, the gray one was a blue wyandotte, the lighter brown one was a partridge rock, and the darker brown one a golden laced wyandotte.

I posted a picture of the supposed light brahma on the chicken behaviors forum with a question about brooding, and some people commented she didn't look like a brahma.

Well, here are my four girls:

First, here's the alleged "light brahma." She's very sweet, but lately VERY broody.

Second, here is the "blue wyandotte" in the foreground:

Last, here are the partridge rock (left) and the gold laced wyandotte (right).

None of my girls have feathers on their feet.

Thanks for the input.

I'm thinking the first one is a splash wyandotte. The second is a blue wyandotte. Both look like pullets, and pretty nice ones...

The partridge rock and golden-laced wyandotte look like cockerels to me, though, judging by combs and wattles. What do their tails look like? Can you get a side shot of them?
 
All are females.

Looks like you have 1 blue Wyandotte and 1 splash wyandotte (or a very light blue). The other pullets are a partridge plymouth rock and a golden-laced Wyandotte.

I don't think any of them are boys because I've caught all four of them at one time or another laying eggs.
 
The first looks like a splash wyandotte, second is a blue wyandotte, third is a partridge rock, and last is a golden laced wyandotte. The golden laced seems to have a bumpier/more pronounce comb, but some hens get bigger wattles and combs. How old are they?
