This is Snowy, what is her Breed?
 
Spike - rooster. Brown Leghorn or Partridge Rock

Repeat - rooster. Hard to tell breed without feathers as many breeds are black

Snowy - pullet. White Leghorn, White Rock, Buff Orp possibly are options...
 
Are they bantams or large fowl? If large fowl Spike is a Light Brown Leghorn cockerel. If he is a bantam he is a Dutch bantam or Black Breasted Red Old English Game bantam. Repeat is probably a Black Old English Game if a bantam and I'm leaning toward cockerel. If large fowl it is probably an Australorp. If Snowy is a bantam the breed would probably be White Old English Game bantam pullet. If she is large fowl she is probably a White Leghorn or White Plymouth Rock.
 
I'm not sure I got all the chicks at my local Atwood's farm and home store, and the boy who was helping us didn't seem to know his breeds well, he said Repeat and another one of my chicks (Pete) we're both black Australorp, but I now know Pete is definitely a barred rock, so that's why I'm asking here, he also told me Spike was Arcauna but I don't know

Snowy is tiny compared to Spike if that helps

Spike is definitely not an Araucana (feed stores sell Easter Eggers as Araucanas, which are actually rumpless) but he doesn't look an Easter Egger either. With his light body type, yellow legs, and single comb, I'm thinking Brown Leghorn is a strong possibility.

Black Australorp is possible for "Repeat." As for the size difference, Spike looks older than Snowy and Repeat - he has most of his feathers already! Leghorns do tend to grow quickly and feather rapidly, if they are the same age.
