Hi everyone. I am new to this board, so bear with me please. I recently inherited a flock of mixed chickens from my grandfather when he passed away. He was a collector of sorts & there were any number of rare breeds among this flock. So far I have been able to identify a bantam minorca, blue game bantams, blue silkie, splash andalusian, several buff orpingtons, a pair of silver laced wyandottes, several different game varieties, barnevelders, RIRs, Black & white cochins ect. However there are three that I am having trouble figuring out: a blue hen, looks like an orpington, but has a rose comb & the oddest white eyelids. Tthe other two are both single combed, one with gold lacing like a hamburg but larger, the other kinda blue laced red. All three are roughly the same size & build (5-6lbs or so). I'll put up pics in a bit if I can figure out how to do that on here. Someone please help! I hate not knowing what types of chickens I'm dealing with.

Maybe wyandotte for the blue one, anything else distinguishing about the other ones that are single combed? Any leg feathering?

The blue chicken may be a Blue Wyandotte. The gold laced one might be a Campine - does it have white earlobes? But Wyandottes and Campines are nothing alike in body shape, so I could really be wrong. I can't think of anything (other than other wyandottes) that the laced ones might be, but they have single combs. I would like seeing pictures, when you figure out how to put them up.
