Help with breeds on some new chickens I just acquired. (adults)

[ChooksinIowa]

Hi all,

I posted by mistake in the wrong forum. I put my pictures of my new chickens in the "Breeds and Genetics" section in this thread:

Sure would appreciate some help with identifying any of these chickens. I am not at all sure of breeds. As you will see from my posting, I acquired them from a friend who is moving and they were his ex-wife's and so he doesn't know much about them either.

Thank you!
Claire

I think the second photo is a golden laced wyandotte.

the one that lays a blue egg is an EE and the bearded ones are probably EEs or pure ameraucanas if the lay blue eggs. and some of them just look like hatchery mixes.

Yes, I am pretty sure there are mixes that arose in the barn that they were kept. The original flock were all purebred, apparently. I believe they have intermixed over the past 5 years or so. Their ages vary too.

Thanks for all these helpful suggestions!

#2 definitely a golden laced wyandotte.. here's a pic of mine

#3 looked like it could be a cross of a GLW.

Roo looks like mine, which I was told was Barred Rock

Maybe #4, the buff color one, is a cross of a golden laced wyandotte with one of those light brahmas...

That would make some sense. It certainly looks like #2 is a GLW as you say. She looks very much like yours.

Yeah, sorry.. number 4 was the one I thought was a cross of golden laced wyandotte...
