Really need help to figure out what type of chickens I have new pics

Schellie, see how your white-ish birds have greenish legs? It is called Willow (the color). Between the egg color, leg color, and appearance, those are definitely EEs. Absolutely beautiful!!

The buff ones could be plymouth rocks, but the white is throwing me off. Maybe red sex links? I've seen pics of red sex links that are more buff than red.

Those ones are toughies!

The coloring of your darker hens is the same as my Buff Minorca pullet. I looked up some pics on google (images) and they look just like the same. Where did you get them from? Can you check to see what they had and might have given you? If they are Minorcas, the comb will grow out a lot more and eventually flop right over their eye. They lay white eggs. Have you gotten any yet out of them?

The guy I got them from had bought a bunch of chicks from the local farm store, he told me that 2 of the ones I got were buffs, but could not remember what these 2 where and that the one bantam that I got was Americana I went back and got 3 more bantams and 2 Plymonth barred rock pullets from him 2 months later. the 4 bantams I have must be EE's which is fine I love them anyway. The bantams lay light blue, blue/green and light olive colored eggs.

Not 100% this ones laying yet but if it is the one she lays a dark brown egg



This one lays a dark brown egg I know because she laid it at my DH feet when he put her down after petting her we were both shocked. including Red (the chicken)

Laying a brown egg, they surely are not Minorcas. I don't think the body shape is quite right anyway. I think the Minorcas are bit less round, more oval-shaped in their body. but the coloring is exact to what I have seen. They are beautiful ladies.
They have too much comb to be Rocks or Wyandottes.
It is a little funny that they are laying brown eggs though, don't they have a white earlobe?

Go to Cackle Hatchery and look at the Red Star Sex Link pictures. Yours are lighter, but it is a close match. Yours are prettier too, btw. But they are brown eggers too and have the same comb, carriage and white earlobe.

Thanks juliechick. I meant go to their website. They have some good pictures for you to compare. Let us know what you think you see there compared to your ladies.

Maybe they are Buff Rocks. Here's a link to a picture of them at Welp Hatchery's site. They do have yellow legs, right? http://www.welphatchery.com/rare/buff_rock.asp

yes a light yellow I am thinking red star sex link I am not sure about the buff rocks they look like both red star and buff rocks so I am not sure one has more white then the other and one has a really bright red head my mom thought one was a roo but she laid and egg so no roo I am confused I know that I have 2 Plymouth barred rocks, 2 buff ophangtons and 4 bantam EE's the last 2 pumpkin and red are a mystery to me I just can't figure out what they are the guy I got them from had gotten them as chicks at a feed store and couldn't remember how old they were either

he had probably over 100 chickens and was taken a bunch to the sale barn, I paid $7.50 for each of them and $5.00 for the first bantam so they can't be that unique of a chicken I am going to the feed store in spring and see what they have maybe that will help me figure it out. these last 2 just started laying but pumpkin just went through molting

thanks to everyone's help I really appreciate it.
