    Adopted our first chickens- wondering what breed they are??

    Here are some pictures of our 3 adopted hens. I was told that one is a buff orpington (not that I even know what the heck that is), but not sure what the other 2 are, but they appear to be the same. Any experts on here that want to help me out. Thanks!
