Are the birds squatting for you?

The leghorns will and the broody silkie does but no to the others.

It might be that they are pullets and will come into lay soon. The Easter Egger’s comb is bright red which is an indication of a healthy bird. I think she will start laying soon.

So this is where my ignorance comes into play....pullets can be that large? She was that size when we got her.

A female chicken is a pullet until she reaches a year old and then she becomes a hen.
So yes they can be that big.

Learning curve is going up!!! So I quite possibly could just have a group of young girls that haven't figured out why I have them other than for entertainment! Thanks for your help!

It’s very possible.
Once chickens fully mature it’s almost impossible to know the age unless records are kept.

Thanks for your help everyone. I won't give up on my girls yet! Learning curve is going up. I do look at it though that I haven't killed one yet and that they appear to be healthy.
