Got some free chickens - not sure of breed? Delaware, Light Sussex, etc?

I got these chickens

as pullets from a friend who was overloaded this summer. I got two hens like this, a pure white which I'm pretty sure is a White Rock, some RIRs and a barred rock, along with two roosters which are pictured (we're supposed to be pullets).

One of the hens is starting to get broody and I want to try to let her hatch some eggs out but I'd love to know what breed she is first! Any thoughts? Thanks!

They're a little full of life today. It's the first warm enough day to venture to the barn (finally above 40 here in NY!) here's a slightly better photo.

Would vote they are both the pullet and the roo are Columbian Plymouth Rocks.

They 're not delawares that's for sure. They're light sussex to me.

I was going with CPRs because of the yellow legs, Sussex should have pink/white.

That was what I thought after some research too. But I can't really see a huge difference between the Columbian and the Sussex.

I agree.!

Thanks! Looking at the girls in the daylight and knowing the leg color difference now, I think they are the CPRs.

They look like Columbian Plymouth Rocks to me, too. Pretty birds!
