Yours are the like Warren, Goldline time which are in Battery cages. And the second last one i think is some sort of game hen, not sure about the last one...

Johnn is right. The gold/white hens are commercial hens, no breed at all. Commercial hens are mixes, hybrids, specially cross bred to be good layers and withstand confinement.

They will probablies be RIR x Light Sussex.

Except that commercial strains are usually 4 way crosses. But, yes, somewhere in their mixed heritage is very likely some Rhode Island Red and Sussex, if they're from a European based poultry genetics company.

These birds are also sold in the US as Gold Sex Links or Red Sex Links and often given fuzzy sounding names to help market them such as Cinnamon Queen, Golden Comets, Red Stars, etc.
