Ornamental layer collection from McMurray

[silkhope]

I received these a little over two weeks ago and am still having trouble ID'ing them, especially if they're supposed to be from the rare breeds (is Ameraucana really rare? which is what I think a majority of them are). I'm used to my typical white, run of the mill, barnyard ladies.

This is my little crooked beak gal and "Fuzz Bucket", which I think are a mottled houdan (5 toes) and a golden polish, respectively.

No clue what she is...

I thought she was a blue cochin when I first got her but now don't know.

This one in the front has green legs. The speckled face girl is sitting behind her, I'm baffled as to what she is.

Any help would be extremely appreciated. And honestly, I cleaned their pen Saturday, they are some messy little boogers! The yellow plate was a treat just given a half hour before of cut up grapes with a side of grit... they had it a mess in no time.

Oh, and an extra - my favorite guy, Patches.

Thanks for your help!

I'm not really sure on pic #2 or #3.

This one in the front has green legs. The speckled face girl is sitting behind her, I'm baffled as to what she is.

Both of these are Ameraucanas. I am fairly certain of that! We have 2 that looked just like them as chicks!

Lastly, your rooster is lovely! What a handsome boy!

I can't help with your chicks, but I just wanted to say that Patches is a stunner! Ohh, I want a roo so bad!

The speckled one sure looks a lot like a Buttercup to me. They are gorgeous. The second one looks like it could be a white face black spanish.

Heres a link to my buttercups when they were little:

I was going to say too that the speckled one looks like my Buttercup babies.

Yep, I agree with kalisgirl. Here are our girls at 15 days...

In the 1st pic it looks like you have a silver spangled spitzhaben and to the right some kind of polish (can't see th color real well.) Your speckled one looks like my buttercup too.

I'm glad you added the extra pic! Patches is a very, very handsome fellow! He's down right purty.......

In the first picture, I see what you said is your mottled houdan, but I do not see a polish. Looks like a silkie behind it to me....

on the 1st pic , the b/w chick with the tophat. Is there something wrong with the beak? It looks really weird on the pic. I was going to say the first two might be polish because of those nostrils btw.
