I'll list more pictures of each specific bird in it's own comment along with my best guess based off what I might have purchased from Hoover's 4-5 months ago and have since forgotten.

To start, I believe this is a sapphire gem, but she doesn't have very sharp colors in her neck to chest variation so I wasn't sure if she was just weakly presenting. She has yellow and grey legs.

Next bird:
She is very large, she grew up faster than the others in her group.
I know I was interested in a hampbar but can't remember if I actually got one.

Next: maybe just an ugly Barnevelder? Not seeing any pretty lacing.

Eveyone is saying rhode island red. I never bought one, and she is very different from my actual RIR. She has the start of lacing on her back and is a much more firey orange than my RIR.
That said, no clue.

Not a wellsummer (she doesn't look like my other welsummers and I didn't buy one in her age range)

Thinking a prairie bluebell egger because of the comb? I've never had one that wasn't blue/splash coloring though. However, she is showing some faint but unique lacing so not sure if she could be something else.

Looks like a Sapphire Gem to me!

Her coloring looks right for a Hampbar, red with faint barring. I’d say that’s what she is.
Next: maybe just an ugly Barnevelder? Not seeing any pretty lacing.
She’s some sort of colored Egger, perhaps Prairie Bluebell?

She could be a Starlight green Egger. Definitely another colored egger. Not Rhode Island Red though, she’s got the wrong coloring.

I’m guessing she’s a Legbar cross Easter egger, though her leg color is kinda funky.
Thinking a prairie bluebell egger? I've never had one that wasn't blue/splash coloring.
She could very well be. It’s sometimes impossible to tell all of the Egger mixes apart, as they’re so mixed.

I have 5 Prairie Bluebell Eggers, and they're all over the map. Ears looks like a Sapphire Gem but has white earlobes. She's gone broody. Winnie looks like a lavender Leghorn with gold leakage (she's ethereally beautiful). Thing 1 and Thing 2 look exactly like Brown Leghorns, but like all the others, they lay beautiful blue eggs. And hmm..the last one ... shrug, escapes me at the moment. Old lady brain. :old Oh wait, I've got it. It's Spooky. Looks like a Salmon Faverolle.

I think you're right on with the starlight green egger! I remember getting one of those. Also, I found my actual barnevelder, so I'll be looking at the one you said prairie bluebell with fresh eyes!
