A guy had some chickens on Facebook for free. The little one was my aunts chicken. I’m not sure what she is. Or what the big ones are. Any ideas? He said they lay brown eggs but I saw some white eggs in the cage when I went.

I think you have a beautiful assortment of chickens. I can only go by comparing to chickens that I had or have. None of mine had any pedigree in them. In Chicken land terms,, it is called SOP. (Standard of perfection)
In picture #2 the black chickens look like my Black Australorps that I had. Layed light brown eggs. They may also be Black Sex links.
Picture #4 looks like an Isa Brown. Red Sex link looks very similar. as does Production Reds. Brown eggs.
In pix #5 the bared one may be a Barred rock, or a Cuckoo Maran. Picture is somewhat small to show . Brown eggs.
Pix #6 and 7,, looks like my Welsummer hen. If that is your small chicken,, then maybe a bantam variety of Welsummer.
Enjoy your chickens.:highfive:

WISHING YOU BEST ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and :welcome
 
You have two Black Australorps, two Production Reds and one Silver laced Wyandotte which are all visible in the first picture. In picture three you have a Barred Rock (Cukoo Marans have pinkish white legs) and two bantams. One of which (the bird pictured in 4 and 5) is a mix, most likey with a Dutch Bantam. Need full body pictures of the other (male) bantam to tell breed. All other birds are hens, but need full body pictures of the Barred Rock for gender identification.

Oops I didn’t realized the barred rock was in the photo. She’s one of my original Chris. 🥰

I only have one rooster.
 
Is that the bantam half visible in the 5th picture?
The one with the really pretty feathers? That’s the rooster. I’m not sure what the two smallest ones are.Those were my aunt Judy’s, she passed away in January and I didn’t get a chance to ask her. The 5th photo is all five birds in the kennels are new and the ones outside of it are the pre existing ones. One is barred rock and the other is a red comet.
