Hi, I'm new to owning chickens. The 4 hens that we have now came from a farm at my daughter's college. They started with 34 so they weren't really sure of the breeds, because they had so many and such a variety in the beginning.

I'm sure that they're probably easy to identify, but we have no experience. I've looked through a lot of websites with lists of breeds, but there are so many, and none of them seem to really fit.

We know for sure one (Gonzo) is a Turken, those are sort of hard to miss!

But, we have two white ones, Thelma and Louise, but there are so many breeds that are white that it's hard to identify what they are.
Here's a picture of one, the other one looks exactly the same.

Here is the both of them together

The real hard one that we haven't been able to identify is Batman. None of the pictures of different breeds seem to be similar.

Here are all 4 of them roosting together

They're a bit over 3 months in these pictures. Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

If you need more pictures I have plenty, and if more recent pictures would help, they have grown a significant amount in the past month, so I could take some more.

Chicken owning is very exciting!
 
The third pic down is a silver laced Wyandotte. I don't know what your white beauties are.
 
The 2 white ones look like white rocks or some derivitive of white rocks. I say that as white rocks have been used as a base breed for many of the production type broilers and they can look very similar. Take a look at Cobb 500 and Cobb 700 chickens and you will see how close they look to your girls.
 
Well, the college farmers are vegetarians so I'm not sure they would be getting chickens known for their "broiler" characteristics!
