what breed is this

I think #3 is faverolle x speckled sussex, too... I have both of those breeds here, and your hen looks like a perfect mix of the two.

I don't know what #1 is, but I really like her coloring.
 
I'm also guessing Favorelle mix on the third hen....Soooo pretty! The first hen is lovely too, and I might guess it is a Marans mix......Her coloring is so beautiful, maybe it's a mix of two different colored Marans...I would almost call it a blue wheaten...She could be your dark egg layer.....

The rooster is lovely...I don't know what he is though.....I do think the mixed breeds are the most beautiful sometimes!

I'd think so too, but her earlobes look part white, which would normally mean a cream or white egg. Maybe the earlobes are just a trick of the light cause she does look Marans-ish apart from that. But I thought American Marans usually had feathered legs? Whatever, she's a really pretty bird. I love her colouring.
 
thanks everyone for your replies. My husband thinks hen 1 is the dark egg layer and seems he is right.
