Help me! What breed chickens do I have?

[iamjeffj]

New here today, so I'll have to figure out how to upload these pictures of four of my chickens that I have no clue what kind they are. They are all supposed to be egg layers... Let me know what you think.

Since I have not named these chickens yet, lets go by:

Chicken #1

Chicken #2

Chicken #3

Chicken #4

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Jeff

They all look like cross bred.
I will let you know that the chicken in picture #1 (with black white and red in it) will never lay a egg for you.... He is a rooster...

That stinks!

What about Chicken #4 - that was the one I figured could be a boy?

#4 looks like a RIR or prodution red pullet. #1 looks the most rooish. How old are they?

I just bought them 3 weeks ago, and these are what my youngest boy picked out. They were all supposed to be egg layers

!

I currently have a Rhode Island and an Americana - good eggs - I hope #4 is a Red - just looks different than my current Red.

Any ideas on #2 or #3?

It's probably an RIR cross, but definitely not a pure bred with that little top knot. Three is probably a BR cross. Could you get a picture of two with better lighting so we can see its color a little better?

#4- Crown indicates mix RIR x Polish? (pullet).

Okay, here's better pictures of #2 - tell me what you think.

Also, what is a BR?
