3 gift hens, what are they?

Can't really see the combs....Columbian have rose combs. Delaware have single. If they're a mix of some sort, could be either! 🤔

Edit: Columbian *Wyandotte* have rose combs. Columbian Rocks have straight. I'm not sure which "Columbian" SnackMeat was referring to.
I'm still learning to pay attention to combs. Columbian/ermine is the pattern and that bright yellow looked Leghorn. The pictures of Columbian/light Leghorn look close. Delaware could be closer. Just depends on better pictures.

The Combs are very tiny and just starting to show as are the tiny wattles.
 
Judging by a very superficial online read, if you look very closely at the neck feathers and see individual feathers are barred, it's a Delaware.

I'm leaning Delaware now because while it's hard to get a firm line on Columbian/light leghorns, the collar of Delawares seems to not cover the throat. With leghorns, it seems like the collar either circles the throat or there's a very faint pattern across the front of the throat.

But I don't really know. I just like looking at different types of chickens :)
