I have several chickens that I need help identifying the breeds. Please help if you can...

1.)Any idea what kind of bantams these are? I know nothing about bantams

2.)I bought these two as a pair, but I have no idea what kind they are. The roo has such a large high tail, he's cute.

3.)This one is a mystery, since I got her I have been getting mysterious white eggs, but I thought I had all brown egg layers. She is very very on edge all the time and will fly screaming through the air for absolutely no reason.

4.)And this sweet roo has the longest legs I have ever seen on a chicken before...

3)black leghorn/Australorp?
4)New Hampshire
5)red star
6)Rhode Island White
 
1- no idea what breed, but the color of the third one is silver duckwing
2- the rooster's color is Red Pyle, probably Old English Game
3- Black minorca, it seems
4- New Hampshire or rhode Island red
5- Gold Sex Link
6- ?
 
I am thinking the first three pictures are probably american games.. They kind of look it. The rooster is too big to be a full bantam and it would be pretty rare to pick up a large old english unless you ordered from cackle and they aren't even pure old english large fowl i'd say.

The black hen could be a american game cross as well.. But not sure on her.

The red cockerel i am thinking maybe a new hampshire red on (possibly a cross), and a red sexlink on the hen with the white cockerel being a cross too.


Telling where you got them from would help in guessing what they are.
 
I think the white roo on the bottom is a sex link. Rocky Road (Rhode)

RhodeIslandRed X Barred rock = red females and white males. His body looks real 'brick like' to me so I think he must be part Rhode Island
