Hello all! I'm looking for your expertise in determining what my little clucks and roo are!
I have an idea, but I'd like to know for sure.
I apologize if this is pic heavy, but all ideas would be greatly appreciated!

I apologize that I don't have better pics....they were more concerned with breakfast that being good photo subjects!
I also have 2 others that did not want to be seen - another 2 hens that I think are Ameraucana, a whit and a sandy color like the moulting one!

Thanks everone!
 
#1 you already know
#2 looks like an easter egger, not Ameraucana
#3 no idea
#5 is it small? looks like my OEGB hen
#6 hard to tell from that pic, could be Australorp among other things
#7 and #8 look like easter eggers
#9 not sure what the roo is
 
Mostly what she said. #2,7 and 8 look like ee hens. My first thought on #3 was " I know what he is---ticked because he's being called a she!" Is that really a hen? Although I don't know anything about 5toed breeds, the color says roo to me, and the pic isn't the best (aren't the buggers hard to photograph!) but I think I see hackle and saddle feathers? Anyone else?

#5--no idea
#6--possibly Australorp

#7--very pretty roo, is he maybe a mix? I love the red and white together!

The girl I bought her form said it was a hen, and pretty young. I haven't seen her lay anything yet, but s(he) likes to nest in the boxes like the other girls. No roo behaviour either.....and incredibly friendly.
 
And for eggs, I have gotten mostly mid-color brown and a medium grey-green.
Can a chicken lay different color eggs?
