These are for sale near me. What breed are they? Are they good layers?

I can "third" the recommendation of the Red Sex Links. I've got half my flock in them too. While it is fun to experiment with other breeds, and get specialized egg colors, the backbone of my laying flock is Red Sex Links.

They are very sweet tempered, friendly, quiet, well behaved little birds that lay large eggs...their eggs are generally a rich red-brown (not dark as a Welsummer, but the same type of rich red tones).

I wouldn't have my flock without them.

They are not the best quality blue Rosecomb bantams. The Rosecomb Bantam is a small bantam breed, known for its white earlobes, graceful carriage, and prominent rose comb. They relatively poor layers of small white eggs, so are not very good for a laying flock. But they are beautiful birds! 

browning6: You had a good guess with the White Faced Black Spanish and/or Minorca. However, Minorcas/Spanish have single combs, while Rosecombs, as you can see by the photo, have rose combs. Also, as far as I know, neither the WFBS or the Minorca come in a blue color.

I believe they are blue rosecombs as well , I have seen

I believe theh are blue rose combs as well, I have sesn white faced blue spanish before but they are single combed
