    I don't think they are purebred....was it a white egg? maybe brown leghorn crosses?

    Okay, I'm looking closer and I see one with muffs? at least one with yellow legs? dark legs, and white legs? maybe they are not all the same crosses...you might have several different mixes...maybe they all had the same father and different hens..that is entirely possible

    there is at least some EE in there and what sure looks like some type of game. the upright body posture, tight feathering, and color pattern looks game.
    very pretty

    The first pic looks like she could be a sister to my hen! I was wondering what she was also...
