No idea lol. Maybe Cinnamon Queen, Easter Egger, Silkie, but I don't know for sure. Just some of my favorite types of chickens.

Most common are probably OEGBs and Polish (around here at least). Just because of the sheer number, they're more likely to win best in show than anything else is, though I believe the last county fair winners (2017) were a pair of Leghorns. I wouldn't swear to that, though. Haven't seen a lot of silkies, oddly enough.

Cinnamon queens, like other sexlinks, are not a breed. They are a hybrid, and therefore are not eligible. Easter Eggers are also not considered a breed.
