We got our girls from a gal on craigslist (an adventure all in itself, let me tell ya') and she had no idea on the breeds. So, with surfing the wonderful pics here and input from some sweet kids who were over here picking up cherries, we think we know what 4 of our girls are:

Buff Brahma and Aracauna on these, right?

But these girls are a mystery to me:

Polka Dot is feather footed, and very petite, even for a bantam. Brown eggs - a really light brown almost mauve.
Snow is clean footed, super bossy and appears to lay light brown eggs.

Thanks so much, y'all!
 
The speckled one is a Mille Fleur D'uccle. She's beautiful.

The bird in the first picture, on the right side looks like a Buff Brahma.

The white one Girl and I are unsure about.

They are all cute birds and I hope you find out for certain what the other three are.


I heart Mille Fleur D'Uccles.
 
Buff Brahma, correct

Belgian d'Anver on the Aracauna

Then miss polka dot is either a very young d'uccle that hasn't grown her beard or a booted bantam. Her coloring is called Mille Fleur.

Snow is likely an old english game bantam. Do you have a side shot of her? I can't quite tell what all colors she's got.

ETA - Snow doesn't appear to be a full OEGB, she's a little on the large side and her tail is a bit long.

Picture 2 is a Booted Bantam (color is Mille Fleur)
Picture 3 (the one on the right) might be a American Game Bantam

You guys are amazing! I've been searching pics for ages trying to determine them and in a span of an hour I have answers from the experts

Side views on Snow and Ice - they are royal pains about getting a picture, the little boogers. This is with the highest zoom on the camera so they wouldn't keep flashing me nothing but butts LOL!
 
Oh- one addition - we get blue/green eggs from someone - that is why I was assuming Aracauna for the d'Anvers...maybe it is one of the others laying them?
