3 hens, what breeds?

NutMeg could be either a partridge rock or a barnevelder, Chile could be Rhode Island red or maybe a buckeye, and penny could be a mix. All very pretty
Thank you! I agree with partridge rock. Thats what I was thinking about
Chile looks like what Hoover's calls a Cinnamon Queen, a production mix between RIR and SLW
Thank you!
Chile is a Cinnamon Queen, Nutmeg is a Partridge Rock, and your little BC is possibly birchen, though to me she just looks like she came from a mixed color pen and has leakage.
Yeah, I'm not surprised that Penny is a mix. We got her from someone who also gave us some project birds so its entirely possible that she got mixed up. (The same person also gave us a "black cochin" who actually turned out to be a rooster with birchen-laced coloring and almost clean legs, named Midnight. And then also a "white cochin" who ended up with the same body shape and feathering as Midnight but a lavender splash, named Sprinkles. Though you can just BARELY see the lavender. I'll get pictures of them tomorrow)

Anyways, thank you to all for your help! 😊
 
This is Chile, I honestly have no idea what she is. She's very friendly and lets me pick her up with no issues

Next is Nutmeg. I think she may be a partridge something perhaps? She doesn't like to be picked up at ALL

And finally, Penny! Penny is really tiny. She was sold to us as a chick as a black bantam Cochin, but she has silver lacing on her neck and head plus her body seems really sleek for a Cochin. View attachment 2960938
Chili looks like my Red Sexlink Rose. She has black on her tail and neck because she's half Delaware.
