What type of hen is this?!

The pullet has black skin. Ayam ceyami/mix more likely and the others is blue.... how old are they?
Possibly! I have a blue australorp pullet that has black skin. She’s only 16 weeks-ish so maybe will get redder later.

They are all about 19 weeks old.
All but the black are close to laying. Build wise, the blue strikes me as australorp. The crested one is definitely a mix. Could be legbar x with cochin or brahma (more likely based upon comb), but could equally be polish (or some other fully crested bird) crossed with a feather-footed non crested. Based upon her feather markings and my own experience with breed mixes, dark brahma is highly likely as the booted non-crest parent.

This one is a gold penciled hamburg x dark brahma

Interesting blend.
