Hi. Just got my new 2nd bunch from Mypetchicken. EXCITING mix

Thanks to all of you...The white one with a few black streak of feathers must be an Austra White as she does have slate grey legs. the one in the back with the golden neck feathers, I am hoping is an EasterEgger. The dark one on the far right I think is an golden laced Wyandotte as her feathers are all tipped with gold. The speckled Black & white we think is the Ancona. All of these girls have clean legs...no frizzles! The mottled grey one, as a chick, is pictured as my Avatar. I had sent that picture to MPC and they could not answer what breed she was. A friend thought she was a Mottled Cochin.
The one with the golden neck feathers looks alot like one of mine. Mine is either a prairie bluebell egger or starlight green egger, I got 2 of each and lost track of which were which, but she looks pretty identical.

Cochin's have feathered feet so if you don't have any with feathered feet then you don't have a cochin. Unless it isn't a great specimen. I doubt that from MyPetChicken though.
 
As I said earlier, If your grey girl has a single comb then she could be a Swedish flower Hen.
Your Gold Laced Wyandotte is actually a Blue Laced Red.
The one in the back with the gold neck feathers looks like a Welsummer if it has a single comb and yellow legs, or Brown Leghorn if it has white ears or Easter Egger if it has green legs and a pea comb (hard to tell from the pictures) but her legs look yellow.

I agree. The only breed from MPC that lines up is the Swedish Flower Hen. I am inclined to say that the gold-necked bird is a Light Brown Leghorn because of body type and I think I see a single comb, but you're absolutely right to check earlobes and comb to be sure
 
Just took a couple of not very good pics of my almost 9 week old Swedish Flower

My Grey lady does seem to match the feathers of your two gals. The attached picture is another angle when she was a baby. As I said, the Avatar picture is her face.

Had several suggestions as to her breed. BUT today, She laid her first egg and it was a small light green colored egg. So this helps me narrow her down. One suggestion was a Welsummer but their eggs are speckled brown.

Still trying to decide which breed is my mottled grey feathered gal (with clean yellow legs)
