So, I've identified most of my cousin's chickens by lurking here

But I'm not sure of two final hens:

There's a Buff EE, a Red Sex Link Rooster, a RSL hen, a Production Red hen, and... two Light Sussex hens? Is that right? I know they're hens, but are they Light Sussex or am I missing something that says they're another breed? (He also has another PR and a Wheaten EE, plus a pair of OEGBwhich are too fast and shy for me to get a better ID).

Thanks!

Can't see the legs on the "sussex" birds... they could also be Columbian Rocks.

You got the others right.

Here's some LS/CR with legs exposed. Less wonderful focus, which is why I chose against earlier.

I would need to see a close up, but from here, they look like very nice Delaware hens. I doubt you could get Delawares that nice from a hatchery, so they're probably something else.

They look like Delawares to me as well.

Delwares or possibly Colombian Wyandottes? Could be very wrong though, new at the breed guessing.

I think these are from someone (anther relative) who was hatching eggs, rather than a hatchery or the feedstore.

They'd be very bad Wyandottes; recently, in full egg-a-day laying mode, their combs look like the RSL rooster's.

Pink/White legs - Sussex
Yellow legs - Plymouth Rock
Black isn't solid, but instead in "dit dots" - Delaware

Thanks, Illia, that does sound like Delaware is it, then. I'd get a closer look, but lately they've been sticking pretty close to their coop, which I'd have to go through the horse pasture to get to, and there's nothing more pestiferous than a bored Appaloosa!
