I'd say your brown lady is a Speckledy. Not sure about the others.

Close up of one... think i have two of this breed.

they grey/blue one could be an Araucana

the one perching (sitting)could be a silver sussex either a pure breed, cross or hybrid

the one standing on the perch at first I thought was a light sussex cross of some sort but it has a rose comb so it could have or be some sort of Wyandotte or Wyandotte cross

Grey hen is def a lavender araucana, she will lay a gorgeous blue egg I have one. almost 5yrs, still laying over a short season. Very flighty. Def not a cuddly hen. but wouldn't be without her. Hope they are all in good shape, well done you for giving them a home and lucky them for having you

My thoughts were the same.. so i am defiantly hoping she is an Araucana. Yes and ive been told they lay lovely blue eggs.

Thank you for your reply... Both the girls on the perch standing and sitting both have small combs. I was thinking maybe they r both then same breed... i will try and get better pictures of there heads to show u.

 

I am trying at the moment just to let them get use to us... as they dont really want to come near us but we will be trying to build there confidence and hopefully they will be very happy here. I think it was just abit stressful for them with all the moving... but its quite quiet here so lets hope they settle down nicely x

My guess is Araucana, speckled Maran (those feathered legs) and 2 Wyandotte Maran crosses

 

Lovely girls, colours go well together. Do you know how old they are?

[ZoPekin]

Thanks @plum for your reply. I was told the one we think is an Araucana is 5-6 months. And the other girls are a year x

Araucana

 

Marans cross - I say this because cuckoo Marans don't have feathery legs as this one seems to have, its possibly a cuckoo Marans x French Marans

 

Sussex cross

 

Wyandotte cross but a cross colour breeding rather than a cross with a different breed if that makes sense

[Chickabee]

They are all lovely, whatever they are. Great that people have such good knowledge on here

[Plum]

No knowledge just guessing as Redwing spotted

glad I'm not the only one
