Any idea on Breeds?

Hi there!  We're very new to chickens and my husband's coworker gave us his "Easter chicks".  He gets them every year for his granddaughter, then gives them away.  He had no idea of the breed, so I thought I would post a couple of photos I've taken and see if anyone here knows what they are.  The first two are similar in size/color... obviously the last one is different.  She's even growing much slower.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Your third chick looks like a Barred Rock. I'd hazard a guess that the first is a Gold Comet/Sex-link, and the second may be a Buff Orpington (or possibly another GSL).
