Right now I'm not sure on breeds.....I know I've seen that breed of chicken your rooster is, but can't put my finger on it.
If possible try taking pics of their feet, heads and stance. That would probably mean holding them if they let you. I just need to see the color of their legs.

The bantams have black feet and claws one also has like an extra 2 claws which I thought was strange, the rooster has white legs with a green stripe weirdly :-/

The white one has white legs not distinguishing marks from what I can remember..

Dark here now so will take a couple of close up pics tomorrow

Thanks

Oh and 1 concern I have is the big old white hen has very few feathers on her red backside is there a reason for this?

Do her feet look like this?

Like on her back or on her bum area? If it's on her back then roosters sometimes over mate with their hens and that take feathers off and his spurs can cut her. If it's on her bum then that might be because of mites or lice.

Bum I think :-/ hard to tell really..

How can I tell if they have mites?
I know someone who knows a bit about chickens he treated some chicken with paraffin on there feet?
