Hello there! Just rescued these 14 chickens today...I think I know what some are from google, but need help on a few. Let me know please! I think there is a silver penciled wyandotte, hen and roo blue laced red wyandottes, some variety of maran roo?? and columbian wyandottes. I'm pretty sure there are black and white americana hens too. I am unsure of the cream/ red tinged bantam, and two blue ?? somethings, and one last bright roo with a funky comb. Oh and the silkies, what's their variety? And can you tell if either is a roo? Thanks!
 
Some of them look mixed...im on my phone and will look later on the computer for a better pic than what my phone gives me :-)
 
the colorful roo with a small crest and funny comb is an ee mixed with a polish, my dad had one like this
 
Aha! Makes sense because there were polish on the property at some point...and americana are EE, right?
 
amerucanas are show-able (meet certain color standards) ees are mixes of amerucanas or araucanas (tail less) or non standard color amerucanas that lay colored eggs

I think your silver pencilled girl is a rock, it looks like she had a single comb and wyandottes have rose combs. I see a splash/blue laced red wyandotte hen, the red and white rooser may be a poorly colored or mixed splash/blue laced red wyandotte, and I see several that look like mixes. That roo with the long feathers on his head may be silkie mix.

I think I'm seeing 4 roosters, you'll probably need to pull two or three out for that number of hens. Four roos and ten hens are going to cause problems sooner or later.
