Rescued hen identification please.

I rescued five hens from a farm that no longer wanted to care for them. I was told they were araucana but I'm not sure that's right. They all lay blue eggs. Any thoughts on what breeds they are?

Easter Eggers. Very pretty!

The first birds are Easter eggers. the last bird is maybe a brown Leghorn, going off the color and white earlobe. If so, she'll lay you lots of nice white eggs. the other birds will be a surprise what color/shade they lay. They make a very pretty flock!

X2 on EE's. The last one looks pretty diffierent, though- probably what donrae said.

Thank you! I wondered if they might be Ameraucanas but don't those have to have black or grey legs? I also looked up the brown leghorn. Found a picture that looks exactly like mine! She's a very petite bird. I'm attaching a picture of the fifth hen. Any thoughts?

Easter Eggers generally have green legs.

The last hen looks like a production red. She also appears to have scaly leg mites.

I agree and your last hen appears to be a Red Sex Link.

x 3 yes, scaly leg mites, be a good idea to check the others as well.
