What breed are these hens?

[Birdragon]

Well, two of them lay and the third (buff) does not crow, so I think so.

Does the Buff have a single comb? If so, She's a Buff Orpington. The red hen looks like an EE mix. Could you take more pictures of the bantam in the last picture?

The red and the one in the last pic both lay greenish blue eggs. The orange has yet to lay. So... Easter Egger, Buff Orpington and a bantam Wellsummer?

Then they are both EEs. Welsummers lay dark brown eggs. Need to see the face. The beard is obvious on the bigger bird, hard to see the front of the neck of the lone bird. EEs come in all color variations depending on the parents. They just need some Ameraucana or Araucana in them to get the blue/green eggs. And not all EEs have beards/muffs (just to make it 'easier' for you

)

Yep, 1 Buff Orpington and 2 Easter Eggers! All hens. Love the dark red EE.

 

[Birdragon]

Thanks! Her name is Gryphon. The Buff is Carmella and the bantam is Olive. Oh, and the Barred Rock is Persephone. Gryphon, Persephone, and Carmella all hatched at the end of July last year. Persephone and Gryphon started laying last week, and there was a new egg today that may have been Carmella's.

[hdowden]

do you have pic of the barred bird?

 

[NosiphoChooks]

Perhaps the bottom one is an easter egger too then, just one which is mixed with a bantam breed

 

[bruceha2000]

Oh, and the Barred Rock is Persephone.

No, no, Persephone is an EE!

See?

She lays mid-range USDA Large green eggs and has averaged over 5 per week since she started laying on Dec 12th.

Hahaha!! And I thought it was a rare name! Not in the chicken world, I guess.
