What breeds are these ?

[svh]

I'm brand new to chickens, and recently acquired 8 hens, and a rooster. Of these there are clearly 2 different breeds, maybe 3 ? From some research, I think 4 of them, rooster included, might be Barred Rock, and I have no idea on the other 5.

These were all purchased from a farm store, and are all approx. the same age, hatched spring of 2019. The original owner doesn't remember what breed(s) they are, and thought they were all the same.

There is 1 black hen, who I suspect is some kind of Rock, because of her comb and waddles, They look just like the roosters, but I really have no idea ! Just noticed, the black one has a different color beak, and feet.

Here are some pics …..

Two different hens

And the only black one

Thank you, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The rooster and one hen are barred Rocks, the other hen is a silver laced Wyandotte. I'm not sure about the black hen though

Can you post more pictures of the black one?

You are right the one that looks like the rooster is barred rock and the black and white is a silver laced wydontte and I think the black one is a black australorp

Maybe not a n australorp. I think I can see some gold or brown on the chest area. If that’s the case she’s not an australorp. they are really pretty though

She is the most skittish of the bunch, and one of the roosters favorites. I will get some better pics this morning.
