Your Sunday morning challenge....

To help me identify these breeds. Your help is needed and appreciated.

These birds are 12 weeks old and were part of a mix.
Chicken #1
Depends on her comb type. I'm leaning towards Kraienkoppe.
Chicken #2
Dark Cornish.
Chicken #3
Buff bird: Could be a Buff Rock, Orpington, or Wyandotte. If she has a rose comb, she is a Wyandotte. Otherwise, she is either a Rock or Orp. It should become more obvious as she gets older; Rocks will be longer backed and less deep in body than Orpingtons.

Finally
Cubalaya.


Any help would be appreciated

She is not a Buff Orpington, I got some Buff Orpingtons from Ideal last year and they have white legs and are fluffier with a heavier body type. Ideal also carries Buff Leghorns and Buff Chanteclers, which could be options too in additon to a Rock or Wyandotte. :)
