Where are they from? Most likely a hatchery-quality Partridge Cochin, Mottled Ancona, and a Blue Andalusian.

I concur.

it could be a mottled Java if they're young. My gal had yellow legs that darkened

I've had Mottled Javas as well and their body type is much heavier. While theoretically it could be a Java with poor body type, Anconas are more common and have this type.

Yes. I purchased them from a lady who bought 29 from a hatchery. Are any good laying hens?

I think the Andalusian will be.

Anconas and Andalusians are excellent layers of white eggs. The Cochin, not so much, but she will lay some brown eggs, too.
