Laying Hen ID?

[RealtreeGal]

Hi all, RealtreeGal here and I’m new to BYC. I am excited to be here! Anyways, we recieved a couple of laying hens from the landlord a few weeks ago and I’m having trouble trying to figure out what breed they are and Google hasn’t really helped much. I’m in FFA and I raise market sheep so I can ID some chickens but not so much others as I don’t raise them for the fair like I do with my sheep. Charlie is the golden hen (young) and Big Mama (1 or 2 years) is the black and brown hen. They both lay an egg per day and they are both a light mint green and cream in color, but neither myself nor the landlord know what chicken lays what color eggs. I feel like they may be mixed blood, Big Mama being an Australorp X and Charlie an Easter Egger (not Amerucana or Aurucana, I know they are separate) , but I’m not 100% sure. Any thoughts?

Here are pictures of my chickie boos

Hi. I have a black gen with the same red upright comb and orange- red feathers on her neck just like this one . She lays greenish blue eggs. One about every three days. She is the dominant hen in my little flock of 4 total. She's not a talker though. She has black or grey colored legs. I dont know what she is. But she looks like yours in this picture with the RIR. In the sunshine, her black body feathers look blue.

Hopefully someone can tell us what this hen is.

I hope so. I would like to know what breeds they are but the important thing is that they are healthy and happy and laying

The dark one is a buttercup cross, light one is an araucana cross if you aren't in the US. If you are in the US, light one got the crest from a cream Legbar.

I was going to say part butter cup.

I figured Charlie was an Arucana or Amerucana cross, but I’m not too sure about Mama being a buttercup, her comb isn’t a cup…so she could be but withbout the signature comb?

She's obviously not purebred but that comb looks like it has buttercup influence to me.

Hmmm maybe, I took a closer look and the back quarter appears to be split
