First thought they are Black Australorps. It was dark at the time. Now I see black ones have some sort of silver/blueish color around their necks. And one more colorful with orange colors. Also does that with orange colors a bit look like a rooster? They are 5mo old. Not laying yet.

Any ideas on breeds and gender on one in question? Thanks!

I see what looks like an EE or Ameracauna, in the third picture.
But all of them are hens!

Not an Ameraucana, she has a single comb. 😉
She might have some AM in her ancestry, but I wouldn’t call her an EE unless she starts laying blue/green eggs.

Does the hen in the first picture have a brown body?
