What breed are these?

[malkered]

Four different breeds.

What are they?

Can you get better photos? Full body shots of all of them would be helpful.

I also agree with @popsicle. Kind of young to tell, and the pics not great quality, but I'm guessing, from left to right, Cuckoo Maran (or Barred Rock), Golden-Laced Wyandotte (some breeders use single comb birds), Black Australorp (or Black Jersey Giant, depending on foot pad, or maybe even Black Orpington), and then White Rock or White Leghorn (could even be a Cornish Cross). The last two could be a lot of things, but I listed the most common. Individual pics would be great. Where'd you get them?

 

[malkered]

They were from mail order eggs.

I'm standing by my original guesses, though I thinking the one I originally thought was a single-comb Golden-Laced Wyandotte could be a Black Sex-Link. What did she look like as chick? Do you have pictures of them? And what color eggs did they hatch out of?

Chances are the first is a Black Australorp and is probably a pullet. The second looks like a black se link pullet. The third looks like a White Leghorn cockerel. The fourth appears to be a Cuckoo Marans cockerel. It could also be a Barred Plymouth Rock with improper barring, depending on the leg color. Marans have pinkish white legs and Plymouth Rocks have yellow legs

If I remember rightly they came from white eggs apart from the white chick which came from a brown egg.

The first and second chicks were black with some white under their chins and some underneath. They both have black tinged legs but slightly different feather colouring.

The third chick was yellow when hatched and has flesh coloured legs.

The fourth chick was black with a white spot on it's head, it has flesh coloured legs.

Can you tell the sex at this age without vent sexing?

You can guess the sex at this age, but sometimes it can change with age. Are you sure they're purebred?

On some birds, like Sex-Links or Legbars, you can tell at birth because that's what they're bred for. Others, like Barred Rocks, you can tentatively sex from certain markings. I highly doubt that any of the breeds I guessed were correct, as they wouldn't have hatched out of white eggs.

I agree. Where'd you get the chicks in the mail? Hatchery?

If the three dark birds all came from white eggs, they could all be Black Sex Links--with the barred one being a cockerel, the others pullets. Mother could be something like a Production Black, California Grey, Barred Leghorn, etc.
