Our coop burned down last winter and we lost all our chickens

however, we moved this summer and our new place had an already-built chicken coop and run! A friend of ours recently gave us 12 chickens to start our flock over. I think he had some overcrowding going on because many of the hens had bald spots on their backs but I can see their new feathers starting to come in now. Lots more space than where they came from!

Anyway, I know there are some RIRs, black sex-links and a Silver Laced Wyandotte.

I assuming the white roo is a Leghorn? How about the tan hen to the left of him?

And, I'm curious as to what the speckled roo could be?

The other roo is a male black sex link...verrry cool colours on him. The white is a white Rock - looks just like my boy.

The tan could be a hatchery New Hampshire? But it's hard to tell. They really do look bad, glad you can give them more room.
 
Thanks everybody!

I've noticed the speckled rooster has some black on his comb. I've checked the chickens for mites, lice, etc. and haven't found any. Any ideas what could be causing this?

I agree.

I agree too. And the black on the mutt cuckoo rooster could either be frost bite or, more likely at this time of the year, scabs from getting pecked on. Once the peck starts everyone seems to just join in on pecking that one bird, in the same spot... but don't worry with more space they should be occupying their time better.
