What breeds are my chickens? *new pic *

[GlitterKitty]

I just got new hens and a rooster and Im not sure on their breed. The are bantys but I have no idea if they are a cross or something. Also I relized I never really figured out the breeds of my other chickens. So any help would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like some Delaware hens, Rhode Island Red hen and not sure about the black one.

Looks like they may have some mix in there though. Forgot to add that

Nice looking ladies though!

The bantams look like mixes to me. Possibly some Japanese Bantam in them. The hens are Red Sex-links and the black one looks like an Australorp.

Actually Del's do have a bantam version they are just extremely rare

Thanks!!

So the Athena (The black hen) an australorp
Chloe and Tinkerbell (the gold ones) red sex links
The white banty girls delawares and mixes maybe
And then the red roo? RIR?

Oh and, the red one's probably are what the other person said...all red chickens too me are RIR..lol! I have Delaware's exclusively, and those white one's look like they have some Del in them, not pure I don't think, but enough to get the barring a little in the neck feathers. Cute birdies

If I had to guess (other than mixes) for the bantams, I would say the roo is a New Hampshire Red. What kind of comb to the hens have? If they're rose combs then they are Columbian Wyandottes.

If this is what a rose comb looks like that is not what they have
