Can you help me decide if these leghorns are Roos or hens? I’m getting two eggs per day so I know I have two ladies. And does anyone know what breed my frizzled speckled snuggle bug of a hen is? Thank you all!!!!!
White leghorns (5 months old) and a random lady (8 months old).

Welcome to BYC! 
The Leghorns are pullets. If you're not "in" the eggs now, you should be before too long! Gorgeous ladies.
Here is a saddle pic for your own reference from google in case you see something I don't. They'd be well showing/flowing by the stated ages (usually starting around 12 weeks)..
That other lady is not technically frizzled (feather type, she is smooth) or speckled (pattern).. but her color is known as Splash. I'm not so clear on her breed though.. are you able to see if that's a pea, rose, or other comb she's sporting? It doesn't look straight from what I can see. Did she come from a specific hatchery, back yard, or where from? Sometimes that can help narrow it down a bit.

Thank you so much!!!! They were supposed to be girls but I wasn’t sure. Phew!!! I already have to nutcase Roos!!!! As for my splash mama….she was given to me by someone who bought her from tractor supply (I know….lol). Sold as a buff Orpington 
. I’m new to this so I’m not sure. All I know is we call her the kitten chicken hawk. Her name is Bbokari or Hedwig or Bobo and she is the sweetest chicken is the history of chickens

Splash lady looks to be a wyandotte of some kind. But all hens.

That’s cool! I just looked them up! She’s so funny. She’s very round with short wings and hilarious when she runs. She’s so soft and sweet. No telling how she ended up at TSC but I’m glad she landed here with us
The leghorns with combs that are flopped over are your layers. The other ones should be laying any day now.
