Husband picked up a few turkens from an acquaintance of an acquaintance. He went for 4 hens and came home with 9. The guy threw in these chickens that he just referred to as “mini hens”. They’re the closest thing to a velociraptor I’ve ever seen. All of the other hens that came with the group have started running to us when we come outside, but I can’t get more than a few yards away from these girls. They’re borderline feral. I’m assuming they’re probably a mixture of a couple breeds, but I have no idea. Any guesses on the breed(s)?

Brown Leghorn is my guess. We have a few and they look just like this. Great layers, not very social.
Gold laced Wyandotte?
Wyandotte
Honestly my guess is laced Cornish chickens. They have relative small bodies and bigger legs. Wyandottes have large round bodies. They seem very tall and upright kind of like a small velociraptor. I could be wrong though.
Indian runner duck. Canadian version.
I don’t think they issue IDs for chickens
Golden seabrights?
Brown leghorn have white ears, but as you said they could be a cross.
They could be Icelandic chickens. Land race not breed, so there is great variety. But always small, independent, Amazing foragers, medium eggs, but never have feathered legs. Pretty rare, but great survivors in free range and will cut down on feed costs.
I had these: Sebright.
The feathers are the same although the stature is different
I hatched some of our hens eggs last October. Our only mature rooster at the time was a Silverudd Blue Isbar, and the hens all varied (Easter egger, black star, golden comet, maybe a few others) but our babies have this exact same body type! They look goofy as hell and we don’t have a clue what any of them are lol
Their build looks very similar to my black breasted Red jungle fowl, but the color patterns are way different. Looks to be some kind of jungle/game fowl.
Going by the cushion combs, tight feathering and high stance with the long legs, you have some type of Game hen there. Would assume American games, not sure which strains have cushion combs tho, think roundheads do due to a lot of shamo/aseel influence.
Those are chickens
Closer to velociraptor size than the movies. Those were the size of a utahraptor. Imagine a chicken that big.
Could be a Seabright
Those are dark cornish crosses.
