First ones are Brown leghorns
second one is probably an Australorp. What color are the bottoms of its feet?

It has feathers on its feet. The women whom Gave her to me said she was a silkie. She's clearly not a silkie. And she is huge.
 
Im trying to find out so I can buy more of them. They have laid for me since the day I brought them home!
 
I don't see the big ol white earlobes on those first birds, not sure if it's the pic or not. If they have white lobes and lay white eggs, they're brown leghorns. If they lay brown eggs, they're Welsummers.

Your big fluffy lady looks like a standard cochin. They're beautiful! They also have a tendency to go broody, if you're into that sort of thing.
 
They are not with a rooster but I could always give them eggs for broodyness. The 2 brown ones lay brown speckled eggs. I'm trying to convenience them to lay in the barn. It giant and I automatically assumed they would but I have only found 1 nest so far.
 
the first ones are brown leghorns, and the big one is possibly astralop or cochin but looks slightly like a jersy giant. however the least likely of the 3!!

So, Welsummers and a cochin. Nice flock!

sometimes you have to confine them where you want them to lay for a while, until they get in the habit of laying in a specific spot. My free range birds would lay in the weirdest places!
