Recently got a flock of mixed up chickens, but I'm not totally sure of the breeds. Any input would be great!

^Agree except the penciled bird looks like a Partridge Rock with a dark head to me, Does not look double Laced like a barney, and the red is probably a Production Red.

I couldn't tell by the lacing- it blurs up too much to see detail when I zoom in. But barnevelders are supposed to be darker on the hackles whereas partridge is lighter, with more of a gold tint. That's how it is in the standard, at least, as well with my birds. But hatcheries don't breed to standard so u very well may be right

Probably either hatchery quality or not entirely pure, legs are pale, too, probably has some stray genes working on the pattern.
But yeah hard to tell from the pic, if there's double lacing it is a Barnevelder, if just penciling it's a poorly marked Partridge rock/ possible cross.
 
Buff Brahma
Black Australorp
Barnevelder or Partridge Rock, but I'm leaning more towards Barnevelder
White Plymouth Rock
Golden Laced Wyandotte
Hatchery Rhode Island Red

Beautiful flock!
