Chicks are 11 weeks now!! Can you help us determine breeds?

If they're from a hatchery, clean faced EE seems to be the best bet. You'll know when they start laying. I can't see combs well enough to see if they're pea combs or not. 
Thanks!! This may be a stupid question, but how will I know when they start laying? And yes all three have pea combs! ;)
 
There are no stupid questions when learning!!! When they are close to laying, usually around 6+ months their combs will turn red and get a bit bigger. Some pullets will 'squat' when you touch them. This is the natural reaction to a rooster trying to mount them. They will also take interest in nesting boxes. Then you will find an Egg!!!
