Hi, in the first pic of coo and two girls, the other side hen is fayoumi chicken which is well known for good resistance against diseases and all kind of weather. The hen on this side of coo is some mic breed but I am not sure about her. Rest the hen in single pic is campine surely and again very good breed. :)
 
See that is what I'm confused, none of those breeds weren't even an option at the store we got them from
U can just click and search the images of Campine hen and Fayoumi Hen on internet, u will get the answer. Some times the chicks or eggs get mixed and hatched. When chick is very small these can be supplied in related or similar type of category. Any way these are beautiful and very nice to raise. I liked them. :)
 
When you hear hoofbeats think horses, not zebras.
While those are interesting guesses, these birds are not as identified above.
It's important to consider the whole bird with characteristics as leg color, comb type, build and plumage pattern. Campine, for example do not have the leg color by the pullet in the second photo. While the pattern is similar, the structure of the feather pattern is also different. There assure a couple of possibilities, the next few weeks will tell the tale on this one.
The bird in the first photo is not a fayoumi... agaign a few possible breeds but not enough can be seen to id her. You didn't ask for their id, so you likely know what they are.....and from what can be seen I'd say light Brahma (behind roo)based on pattern and what appear to be feathered shanks, but if you are corious now in her is a nice pic of her can clear things up once and for all.... and in front is, again not enough shown,(because you were showing the roo) but just whay can be seen likely a barred rock.

Now for the roo in question- what color legs does he have, are they clean or feathered sand can you get a pout in natural lighting outdoors is best, so we can see him a bit better?
 
In the top picture, yes a barred rock and a light Brahma. His legs are yellow with black marks. We can't let them out to get a picture because we just let them roam (we live in the country ) and we have a fox and they r all pretty young yet. Supposedly the roo shown was supposed to be a RIR, but when I was growing up we always had RIR and white leghorn, so I don't think he's that. As for the bottom, I thought it was some kind of maran is what it was labeled, but I wasn't sure.
 
Need better pictures - first impression is light Brahma and Barred Rock, no thoughts on the black one. Knowing the age always helps too.
