I bought these hens from a man who was getting rid of his excess chickens, the reddish one looks a little like my isa brown hen but this one has a more small size and more of a elegant looking shape, the bluish and white one look the same, i asked the man what breeds they are and he was a little confused.
 
The first two birds could be Aussie Aracaunas, I guess.....That's not one of my breeds and I always get confused on the different standards in the different countries. Looking again, I'd call them an aracauna mix, probably. The body shape doesn't look right for the pure birds I've seen.
The red hen is a red sex link, a generic term for something along the lines of an Isa brown. Different parents used to make the sex link cross make fore different body shapes, color and comb variations, etc.

One at the back looks like a small araucana, the middle one maybe an aracuana mix or EE and the front one I'm not too sure, perhaps some sort of production red sex link?
