I have many roosters, and few ideas of what breeds they are. We rehomed a lady's flock for her, and ended up with a smorgasbord of chicken breeds. Any ideas what these guys are? Thanks in advance!

#1 has a good color for Ameraucana, self-blue rooster, but unless your friend was a serious breeder or careful purchaser, it is an EE.

#2 is most likley a Production Red (aka hatchery quality RIR or NH). Unless you go to a serious breeder, you won't get a true New Hampshire.

#3 I can't see enough to call. I'm doubting Australorp, though it does come in blue.

#4 Is another EE....I'm thinking an olive egger. Has the look of Ameraucana-Marans cross.

My 2 cents.

Thank you guys SO much! I do think they might originally be from a serious breeder, as in the flock mix is also an all-black ayam cemani, some blue barnvelders, bredas, and splash ameracaunas. They're super pretty but it makes it hard to decide which roos go to freezer camp, because they all seem so unique!
 
the first one may be a lavender araucana (tailed, UK and elsewhere spec rather than the rumpless version more common in the US). Pea comb and white soles on his feet?
