Any ideas what breed these are?

My parents live in Spain and have just bought 4 hens at POL. Unfortunately their spanish and knowledge of chickens is poor and are know unsure what they have got. Mum thinks they are RIRs. However, from the photos I sure you can see that they aren't.
Does anyone have any ideas what they are?
I'm not sure what common spanish hen breeds are.

The red is a red sex link pullet. The other two look possibly like black sex link pullets.

I agree with Sunshine0235. The one in the top pic is a Red Sex Link pullet and the other two are Black Sex Link pullets. They are not actually breeds, but hybrids. Red Sex Links are produced by crossing a red gene rooster with a silver gene hen. The offspring can be sexed by color at hatching (male chicks are whitish, female chicks are reddish), and they will outlay either parent breed. Black Sex Links are produced by crossing a red gene rooster with a barred gene hen. Like RSLs, the offspring can be sexed by color at hatching (male chicks are black with a white spot on top of their head, and female chicks are solid black), and like RSLs, they are egg laying machines, outlaying either parent breed.

Yup! Red and Black sex links.

Black ones are Black Sex-link pullets. The red one is a Red Sex-link pullet. All of them should be excellent egg producers!

Thankyou I think that's clearer.

I'll let them know.

I agree with the other posters; the red bird is a Red Sex-Link, and the black ones are Black Sex-Links.

In England the red one is a hybrid called a Calder ranger, the classic battery hen ( I have one in my flock) the others look like black rock crosses
