Hello fellow chicken keepers, my friend recently got a rescue flock of older birds,
We are trying to identify what breed they are, but we're no experts in chicken breeds...
I was wondering if any of you might be able to help to identify their breed or which breeds they are a mixture of :)


Hen #1: I'm pretty sure she is a Bresse hen, she has blue legs. I believe most of her comb has been frost-bitten of :(

Hen #2: This one’s name is Cheeks for obvious reasons. She is most likely an Easter Egger, but she kinda has a "rosecomb". She is not very big but weighs a ton. She has two toes on the back of her blue feet.

Hen #3: This one has lovely green eyes. I remember seeing similar chickens to her on the internet, but can't recall their names.

Hen #4: This one is all black. I don't know what type of comb this is... She is a smaller hen and has lovely tail feathers

Rooster: He is one handsome dude. He is kind to the hens and doesn’t crow very often.

White hen - not sure; slate legs put me in the mind of White Javas but I highly doubt that you'd stumble across one.

Hen w/ five toes - undoubtedly mixed with a Salmon Faverolle. That would explain the muffs and the extra toes.

Hen w/feathered legs - possibly Cochin or Brahma in her ancestry. She has a very heavy brow like most Asiatic breeds.

Black hen and rooster - I'm not sure on them at all.
 
1- not sure
2- Easter egger mix
3- splash marans mix
4- not sure, what color eggs does she lay?
5- I'm guessing he's a mix of mixes, probably has some wyandotte in him
