All three of them are mixed breed pullets.

bought at feed store so that would be my guess
They might be some type of Black Sex Link, but since I can see lacing in the feathers they don't look like the typical hatchery BSL which is RIR rooster X Barred Rock hen. They are definitely a mixed breed though whether they are BSL or not.
Might be bsl from a glw roo and BR hen. I have some of these in incubator now. If so they will lay lots of eggs for 2 years.
That's certainly a possibility.
