What kinds of hens are these?

[BobcatKen]

These hens are at a local farm. What breeds are they? Thanks in advance.

Wow! Nice birds! I want the black and white one please.

Not sure about the breeds. Are you sure they're both hens? The black & white has pretty long spurs.

Looks like a excheker (not sure of spelling) Leghorn in the top picture and the bottom one looks like a Black Star

This is just a SWAG, but...

First one: Mottled Leghorn

Second: mossy Black Copper Marans?

ah..that's what I was trying to think of, exchequeur or something like that.

Would a Black Star not have yellow legs though?

Beautiful birds! I'm jealous!

I don't know about the first one, but I agree that the second one is some sort of sexlink. Whatever you want to call them Stars, BSL, etc. I have had Black, Yellow, and Black&Yellow legs.

exchequer leghorn and also a black star...

The second one looks like mine, which I got at 18 months. The previous owner said hers were Jersey Giant/Aracauna mixes. I know she was wrong about Aracauna since a few were EE layers. BUT, I'd like to know what mine were if a few of mine look identical to that one. Brown eggs here, same leg color.
