I am pretty sure the oreos are Hamburg bantams, the lighter three might be red sex links or comets?! I am unsure about the two black chickens and the other greyish brown chicken in the back.

Thanks for the replies.
 
Red and white hens- Red Sex Lunks
All red hen- Some sort of Production mix, possibly with a New Hamshire Red and Orpington
Black hen with golden streaks- Black Sex Link
All Black hen- Black Minorca
Brown hen- Brown Leghorn
White and black hens- Silver Spangled Hamburgs:)

Agreed.
 
What colored eggs do each lay?

We just got these hens yesterday. So far they have laid a small brown egg, a large brown and medium white egg.

The Sex Links and Production cross will lay brown eggs.
Your Minorca, Hamburgs, and Leghorn will be laying white eggs.

Generally:
White earlobes mean white eggs. (Sometimes they will lay lightly tinted eggs too)
Red earlobes mean brown eggs.
This works for most breeds of chickens, but not all.

The hen in the center is just simply a Production Red, Sometimes they just turn out that way I think from the New Hampshire blood in them.
