First off, are they bantams?

 

[chloezoebob101]

The yellow one is a Buff orpington.
The red one is probably a cinnamon queen.

Great. they really look like the ones you are talking about. the only thing that that got me confused it was the fluffy head. and the guy had some silkies. i will be posting more up close pictures here in a few.

 

[chloezoebob101]

greyish blue looks like a hamburg X, buff one buff orpingtonX silkie, black one silkieX, not sure about the darker brown one, does the white one have a tail.

Looks like the one with the black tail might be a new hampshire hen. This is mine a couple of months ago.

 

[Garciafarm]

Yes it does, they look very similar.
