Hi there! These guys are all about 8 weeks old. We hatched them alongside a bunch of Coronation Sussex but they were 'extras' given to us so we have no idea what breeds they are! Any guesses?

Daisy! She's black with white ears and a white collar. A lot of her feathers have a white 'stripe' down the middle as well. Her legs are dark but have a yellow tinge.

Yet to be named! She's lavender. I thought she was an Australorp at first but her face is almost entirely feathery. Her legs are dark as well but also have a yellow tinge.

Little Sir and Lady Sprout. Again, thought they were Australorps but both seem to have a little 'puff' of feathers on their heads. Sir has the 'puff' behind his comb whereas Sprout just seems to have a mullet.
 
I was thinking silver Sussex for Daisy, but if her legs have a yellowish cast, then that isn't right. She has the birchen color pattern, but not sure of the breed, especially since you are in Australia.

The lavender looks like an Orpington, but the yellowish tinge to the legs doesn't work with that breed. So, again, I am not sure.

The last two are probably English Araucana crosses. The hen has a pea comb, which is correct for that breed, while the male has a single comb, which isn't correct. So I am thinking crosses.
