So I got 5 chicks free off of craigslist when they were 6 weeks old. They're now 10 weeks old. I was told theres a Lavender Lakenvelder, an Easter Egger, and an English Orphington but they couldn't remember the rest.

I've figured out the Lakenvelder

English (splash) Orphington

And a Blue Laced Wyandotte

But I can not for the life of me figure out the breed of the last one. Any guess?

I figure it's probably too early to know their gender for sure but also open to any guesses for all of them.

I think the last one is also an Orpington. I'm guessing its color is blue mottled.

All of them look to be females to me.
I agree, she has that chunky fluffy look that orpingtons have. Only thing is I thought orpingtons have white legs. Maybe it varies between color patterns. Oh well. You've got some very nice pullets for that price of 0$! Lucky you.

Black and blue Orpingtons have dark slate legs or nearly black, so it depends on the variety. This bird has mottled legs, white with darker patches, so she's just right.

Thanks, I was definitely super lucky! I was expecting some random backyard mixes and was very surprised when I picked them up. Ontop of it all they went from completely unsocialized to the neediest, sweetest, lap chickens in under a week.

I also greatly appreciate everyone's help/opinions on them being female. I also thought they were all pullets but the first craigslist chickens I got had 3 roosters out of 4 and I've been terrified that one of my little ones might end up being a rooster, or worse more than one.
