What breed are these solid grey?

See attached photo; i have 2. I was given 5 birds in a less than inhabitable case. Just nursing them alone.

They were born early 2022 and supposedly lay a tan egg. I thought they were olives til i was told they lay tan egg. Im thinking australop now bc one is super broody

An Australorp would have a single comb; hers looks to be a pea comb, or modified pea comb. I see 2 Leghorns, and what looks to be a Buff Orpington, but I can't see their legs which would really help ID them. They look like they've not been taken care of, I hope you can nurse them into good health again.

Can you get a better picture of the combs? I can't tell if they are peas or rose.

Are you saying the greys are what, Blue Australorps? They look like Sapphire Gems to me. (Brown eggs, they are basically Blue Rocks). Either way, brown eggs.

I posted the others seperately. The other 2 are some sort of bantam, the red one is just a production red

Well i thougt sapphire gem also but didnt think they go broody. One of these was ultra ticked today when i picked them up. Soon as i walked up i told the guy.. “ gota broody one there, shes ready for eggs” he just looked at me like what u mean, i been kicking her off for weeks now. Had no idea what a broody was.


They were in less than favorable conditions for the last 3 yrs. Hopefully i can give them some form of better life

The comb for SGs would also be single, so not them...

This is one of my Sapphire Gems. Notice her huge single comb.

All hens can go broody, just some breeds are known to do it more commonly/often on average

New pics. Suggestion? Possibly easter? I know there is a 1/100 chance of getting a tan egg.
