What breed are my 4 chickens?

[feasibleweasel]

I actually have 9 chickens altogether but I know the breeds of the other 5 now (thanks to BYC!). Here are my girls:

Lola:

Hildegard:

Esme:

And Melody (her comb is too big for her head, is it that noticeable lol):

Sorry, no help on your breeds, but your last "girl" sure looks like a cockerel to me.

This is what I think:
Lola: Brown Legorn
Hildegard: Black Copper Maran. I would say Black Sex Link, but I see little feathers on the leg, which would point to a Marans.
Esme: could be a blue Orpington, but not quite sure.
Melody: looks like a Columbian Leghorn. That breed has large combs.
Hope this helps!

Must've caught her bad side then lol.

It's a girl. If it was a boy, there would be male feathering. If you are going by the comb, leghorns have large combs. Lots of the hens have big floppy combs like that. Not only leghorns, either. Other chicken breeds can get big combs.

Oh how cool! I googled the breeds and they match perfectly with the girls. Everything seems so clear now

Understood. Wasn't looking so much at the comb and wattles as I thought I was seeing the beginning of hackles and saddle feathers. Certainly not the first time I was wrong about something!

You're fine! I've done that too!

Esme has such pretty eyes for a chicken!

Agree with Crazy for Chickens, mostly.
Brown Leghorn
Black Copper Marans, with very poor leg feathering, could possible be an olive egger mix as I see my F2 Marans mixes with scant leg feathering that way (what color does she lay?)
Probably Blue Orpington
White Leghorn mix...not a true Columbian pattern...could be a mix of Leghorn colors or overall mixed bird....and yes a hen.

And double check their legs up close...it could be just grainy resolution in the photos, but a couple of them look like they might have scaly leg mites.

Nice hens who I am sure give you nice eggs. Pretty flock.
