Okay, I posted the pictures. There are four different hens in the pictures:

1. A White Hen with some Colombian black coloring on her neck and deep green almost black tail feathers. I believe she has a rose comb? And is a Colombian wyandotte?

2. A Brown Hen with a white head. Her head looks the same as hen #1, but her body is brown. I believe she also has a rose comb?

3. A black hen with some brown markings and gray feet. I believe she has a pea comb.

4. Another black hen with some brown markings and yellow feet. She also has a deep green sheen on the black feathers on her neck.

So I was thinking that hen #1 was a Colombian wyandotte, and #2 looked like a cross between a Colombian Wyandotte and some kind of brown breed (Easter egger??), and I thought #3 and #4 were some kind of American Game?

We finally just started getting eggs, we're getting a ton of medium small brown eggs with a pink hue, a few large pale brown eggs that are almost white, and some brilliant Blue eggs. Any guesses on their breeds? Their heritage but might be crosses.

The two dark birds look like they might be Dark Cornish crosses, and the other two perhaps Sussex crosses.
Thanks for the info! I did wonder if the alleged Wyandotte was a Sussex at one point.. they look so similar to me.

As for the potential Dark Cornish Crosses, are they likely to die young from heart failure? 😅 I always heard that Cornish crosses were mutant chickens that died young. Ours are already 6 months old.

Though I always heard bad things about Cornish crosses, so are dark Cornish crosses different?
