They look like Blue laced red wyandottes, splash version. Hard to tell totally but look a lot like some of the hens I have. The hen in my avatar is one.

When I decided to get chickens in 2011, I cruised the Murray McMurray catalogue and discovered the BLRW's and fell in love with them. As luck would have it, our local feed mill was doing an order from them so I ordered 12 straight run chicks.
I lost the last hen of that group this spring to a raccoon but the one in my avatar is the only one I have now and she was from some eggs I got a few years ago and the only one I've ever had gone broody. Still hoping to get some more as I love the look of them and they are sweet birds.

Agree, splash BLRW. I had them for two years, BEAUTIFUL birds and very docile, never had a nasty rooster. I personally found them not to be great layers, the ones that were very good layers where the Gold Laced Wyandottes :wink:
