I received some of these chickens from a friend and others from Rural King. We unfortunately don't remember what we got from rural king and my friend said that he had americauna. I'm pretty sure about the americauna just not sure about the rest.

The americauna (Ada) is in the back I know the one on the right is a Rhode Island Red, and pretty sure the one on the left is as well. Not sure what the black and brown one in front is and the black and white on in the middle is.



We have 3 all black ones that have an iridescent blue tinge to them but 2 have dark legs and one has yellow and black legs.



Any help would be appreciated!
 
1st pic:
Top: Brown Leghorn (white earlobes?)
Right: Rhode Island Red or production red
Middle: Silver Laced Wyandotte
Second to bottom: either a New Hampshire or rhode island red
Bottom: black sex link

Black ones are probably Australorps (pink/black legs) or Jersey Giants (yellow/black legs).

Your Ameraucana is an Easter Egger. The dark red one is a Rhode Island Red. The lighter red one is a Production Red. The black one with brown chest and neck is a Black Sexlink. The black one with yellow feet is probably a Jersey Giant. The other black ones are probably Australorps. The black and white ones are Silver Laced Wyandottes.
 
Okay so this is what I think I have now with the help from you guys. My only question is, if the black one with yellow legs is a Jersey Giant shouldn't it be bigger? Everyone agree with the identifications? Do people often mistakenly call Easter Eggers Ameraucanas?

Ada "1st pic top" sure does look like a Brown Leghorn, she has white earlobes but she lays light green/grey eggs...

Hatchery Jersey Giants never grow very big. Tons of places market Easter Eggers as Ameraucanas, or Araucanas!
