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.

I vote Red Star sex links. Barred shouldn't have the white on them like yours do, but the sex links can. (opinion based on photos and my limited knowledge of the breeds, so it's not worth much).

I think I have found a definitive answer...
I have a pullet who is marked very similar to your hens. So, I have been going through many pages on the computer to find what we have. Hands down, your are Red Start Sex-Links. They are also called Golden Comets, Cinnamon Queen or Gold Star. There coloring varies a little, but basically they are some shade of lighter and darker reddish buff. Well shoot, I thought I had a Minorca, but I will be happy with lots of eggs from Little Maisy.

Red Star Sex Links and EEs makes a great combo for great egg-layers AND a colorful basket!!!

Without better photos.

Red Sex links and

EEs... but possibly wheaten/blue wheaten Ameraucanas...

Here is on of my purebred Ameraucanas that lays blue eggs....

BTW Shel, if you don't want those EEs, you can send them my way, they are gorgeous! The one I have is the dark variety and not very attractive to me.

no thats okay minniechickmama I will keep mind I love them all they are great chickens, and I am happy with EE's most of my pets are mutts so why not my chickens to, I am thinking of getting a EE roo so maybe I could get some more lighter colored EE because the ones I saw were really dark and mine are white/tan/with a little black, and I think Red star sex link on the bigger ones to now are those pure breeds or how would you classify them just in case I decide to get a roo and bread not sure yet thinking maybe I can have a little business from my hobby does anyone have any ideas on this thanks for the help.

Perhaps your EEs are closer to being Araucanas than most? It seems the Americanas have darker coloring that the "original" EEs that are shown in catalogs and on the web as a breed (and I use this term loosely) standard (cuz I know they don't really have a standard for those). Maybe you could part with some fertile eggs one day if you get a light roo to pair them with? I would be interested.
