What breeds are these?

Where did you get them?

I have 7 red sex link hens, 3 of those dark red ones but only the bigger one has feathered legs, 2 Dominic hens, 1 Turken hen and 4 red sex mixes. And few different roosters. I just lost my precious Cornish hen yesterday and they’re not dealing with it well.

The red one does have feathers on her legs.

RIR don't have feathered legs so maybe a cross with something that does or a completely different breed, don't know but they all are really beautiful. I especially like the colors on the 4th pic.

Oh yes that’s El Jefe he is gorgeous he just doesn’t know it. We just lost our Cornish hen that he was rather fond of and he’s not doing well.

I wasn’t sure if having the bantam roosters in there would change the egg size.

A hen will lay the same size egg, and the same color egg, no matter what rooster is with her, or when no rooster is with her. So changing which roosters are in the pen will not change the eggs your hens lay.

But if you hatch the eggs and let those chicks grow up, the daughter of a bantam will usually lay smaller eggs than the daughter of a big rooster. That is mostly because the daughter of a bantam tends to be smaller, and small chickens tend to lay small eggs.
