What breed? Chickens at the shelter

[ProudNewChickenMommy86]

the rooster in a way kinda looks like a salmon favorelle, and the 2 on top of the cage looks like speckled sussex, and the other one looks like a black sex link or some type of ee... that's just what i see?

The two dark hens look like EE's to me.

They are all games. You can't judge a breed by color alone as most colors can be found in many many different breeds. Being a brown speckled chicken doesn't mean it's a speckled Sussex, that is just the most well-known speckled breed. Sussexes are big meaty birds with sturdy legs, definitely not even close to the game type these birds have, and they also come in several colors other than speckled. Same for Faverolles. They're very big and fluffy, not light built like games, and they come in other colors than salmon.

Plus, a Faverolles would have a beard, single comb, feathered feet and white legs.

That rooster is gold duckwing, not wheaten.

yes, i have a hen like the one standing in front of the cage. She is Brown Red Old English Game hen. The other two hens are Mille Fluer old english game. Mama24 already said what the rooster was. All Old English bantams. I love the breed!

If I lived in San Diego, I'd take them.
