These are my brothers recent chickens he breed from eggs. They are around 12 weeks now?
I think they are a cross breed. Does anyone have any ideas?
We are all wondering what they are?

Hi, and welcome!
Did your brother breed the birds himself from birds he already had - or are you saying he got the eggs from somewhere/someone else and then hatched them?
 
They all look like mixes to me. Most of them look like they could have some Modern Game in them, but I could be wrong.
 
It has been suggested that they are a cross between Australorp and Isa Brown, but I question that as I understand Isa brown hens are a hybrid (rhode island red x rhode island white)....if they were that wouldn't there be variances in colouring (some redder and maybe abit of white)?
We live in Australia, so most common breed is Isa Brown and Australorp.
