What kind of hens are these? (PHOTO)

I don't know what type they are or how old. They started laying ( I believe. The eggs are small, so I thought they might be from the Bantams? And some are white and others are light brown.)

Looks a bit like a Leghorn to me (they also come in bantam size).

Some of the eggs are white and some are light brown?
Do leghorns lay brown eggs?

Those earlobes look red. If they are, she's not a leghorn, and she'll lay brown eggs.

I have a white Australorp that looks just like her. Is that a possibility? They lay brown eggs.

 

[jossanne]

White rock is also a possibility.

Hmmm......

Two of the three will sit down when I approach them and let me pet them for a second. The other one has light brown on her feathers-looks like dirt almost- and won't let me pet her.

We have them in the same coop as the Sebright Bantams, so I don't know which is laying the white or brown eggs. Do Bantams lay white or brown?

Thanks!

Sebrights lay white. But standard-size hens lay pretty small eggs when they start. My minorca (who will be a good-sized bird) started laying eggs that were barely longer than an inch. In general, hens with white earlobes lay white eggs, and hens with red earlobes lay brown or green/blue eggs.
