First time chicken owner, I'd like to know what breeds I have.

I bought some chickens over the weekend. I worked really hard to get everything setup for them sunday and by the end of the day felt really good about their new home. any help determining the breed of these 2 hens and rooster is greatly appreciated.

Number 1 is an Easter Egger, mixed breed.

Thanks Heatherscooby77 for the quick response.
she is the friendliest of the bunch. I've been able to hold her in my lap and pet her a couple of times already.
I haven't named her. only number 2 has a name thus far.

1st is an EE
2nd looks like some kind of game
3rd looks like a Polish mix

I'm hoping Number 2 and 3 are the same breed, they are good looking birds which is why I picked them out. I also bought 8 chicks, I have them in a brooder. (Japanese Bantams and Cochins) the Cochins look like little penguins, very cute.

Number 2 is a Game rooster
Number 3 is a Polish or Polish mix rooster

Thanks stephanie1992, I keep looking at the photos of Sicilian Buttercup's & American Game. Do you think it's possible that number 3 is polish mixed with one of the breeds I mentioned? to me they both seem like they are in early adulthood.

They all 3 look like roosters and I agree with the others on the breeds. Well the ee looks like a hen but her tail feathers make me think roo. It looks like it has pointed neck (hackle) feathers. Is that correct??? They comb on it doesnt look like a rooster though so I'm very confused.

Hey Juliechick, Let me see if i can get a better photo of number 2, we were pretty sure it was a hen.

The EE looks like a hen, the other 2 are males. The Polish is likely one of those "white crested red" polish. A new color that needs a lot of work yet to look more like a Polish.
