Rescue chickens - first time chicken owner!

I'm afraid I have no idea, my friend rescued them without knowing any details and I just took them on!
 
Just spoke to my friend who says Beattie definitely isn't a rooster as she has laid before. That's as much info as she could give me though
 
They're all hens.

That last one could be something like a black sex link, but it's also a common color to get when you mix birds with a black bird in the mix somewhere. they all look like mixed breed birds to me, I'm not seeing any specific breed jumping out. Could even be mixes of mixes--I have some of those in my flock, I bred them and I can't even tell who the purebred parent stock was, once upon a time!

That last hen looks like she might start laying again soon, her comb is nice and red. The others are either pretty young or taking winter pretty seriously and don't look like they'll lay again until spring.

It's sure a cute little flock!
 
Thank you donrae, as long as they're all happy and healthy then I'm happy too :-) They have all laid in the past,our weather did turn.quite suddenly so maybe they're just feeling it, I know I am!
