Any ideas on breed?

In birds that are close to the Standard of Perfection an Orpington *should* be rounder and fluffier while an Australorp should have a look that I can only describe as "more athletic" and have somewhat closer-fitting feathers. But that's not very helpful with hatchery birds.




Tag me and I can post some Blue Australorp photos for you to compare her to.
Thank you! She does seem to be more fluffy than the other two but could just be her
 
I see a Barred Rock and a Red Sex Link. Not sure on the other one, but I'm thinking Lavender Orpington.
Here are some more pics of the other two, they were sold as a Rhode Island Red, and olive egger but could have been a mix up!

You are right, the red one is a RIR, the other could be a Olive Egger or a Barred Rock, you will know when its older. Were they selling BRs? As for the other chick I think you'll have to wait until it feathers grow out.
It's harder to ID chicks than when they're adults!
