They are mixed egg layers. The roo is most likely golden comet (although there is a slight chance of black jersey giant) the hens are either golden comet or dekalb amberlink, my giant pullet has started laying and her eggs are the lighter tan I think I only had one of them. She is either covered by golden comet or jersey giant. I have some in the Bator right now but have been getting good fertility all winter from the darker eggs. The blue is a ee who could be covered by golden comet, jersey giant or black bantam cochin. The comet is head too but she doesn't like him he chases her. I have caught the giant covering her at least once but she likes to spend time with the cochins. My cochin too has never shown interest in covering anything but my 2 bantams he normally attacks the full size hens but for some reason doesn't have a problem with the ee hen. She has just resumed laying after a very long molt so who knows. They are all good cold weather layers. I get 4 eggs a day from the golden comets and amberlinks, out of 5 and hasn't changed since summer when they started. My youngest chicks from this cross are around 15 wks so I still have a little time left to find out how they lay. Good luck and please let me know how they develop.
ETA stupid phone doesn't believe roo is a word.
