What breed are my chickens

[alifaizan09]

Hello. I bought few hens some days ago. Could anyone identify the breed of these chicken. Thank you

They are probably mixed breeds.

In the first picture, the barred bird in front is too slender for a barred rock or cuckoo Marans. Possibly a Dominique cross, but she has the build of an Amercan gamefowl pullet. So maybe a barred or cuckoo American gamefowl. The three birds behind her look like silver Campine or Egyptian Fayoumi crosses, probably with gamefowl, again.

These same birds appear in the second picture, too. The bird on the far right in this photo, with only the back end showing, looks like a cockerel, judging by the feathering.

Third photo-- this bird has the Colombian color pattern. It also has the build of an American gamefowl pullet, but I think she is probably a cross of that breed or else a Hulsey American game fowl pullet, because that variety can have that coloring.

Picture 4 is pretty blurry, but she looks like an American gamefowl or American gamefowl mix, too.

Picture 5 has the same birds as in other pictures, so I won't repeat myself.

Overall, I believe there is a lot of gamefowl blood in these girls. Which is great if you want free rangers or hens to brood chicks. Not so great if you want lots of eggs, but you never know until they show their true colors.

was thinking Fayoumi crosses.

3 of them certainly look to be. The rest look pretty gamey, but you can rarely be sure with crosses. They might all be Fayoumi crosses.
