I'm new to chicks, my bf has 8 full grown chickens and got me three of my own chicks, he thinks they are Orpington and Easter eggers or Rhode Island reds, can someone tell me what breeds my babies are?

The darker, redder chicks are probably Production Reds (hatchery Rhode Island Reds) and the lighter, buff colored chicks are Buff Orpingtons.
 
Individual side shot pics are best for determining sex and breed. The yellow chick is either a buff orp or a buff rock (leg color is the only way to tell for sure). I agree that the red chicks are most likely Production reds.

It was kind of bad lighting, I tried to get good pictures, the full grown chickens are 4 different breeds. We are going to get more chicks in a couple months and build our own coop. My boyfriend laughs at the names I gave them : Peepers, Pippy, and Prissy
