Thanks so much.
I thought 1 was a pullet..
I'm just learning about Gunea's.
3. I know she come from a batch of eggs that were referred to as coming from rainbow layers.

Agree. I can only tell Guineas by their call---the boys have a different call than the girls. I can't remember who does what---but you can google Guinea and it will give you the calls.
 
Pretty birds! Since they came from my stock they are bound to be pretty! Just kidding. Any way, I agree with the guesses above. The guineas are hard to sex. It took me a long time to learn. The females have a 2 syllable call. The males only have one noise. It is complicated by the fact that the females make both calls. It is late now but if you want more information pm me ans I will try to help.
 
Guineas can only be sexed by their call, unless you are verrrrrrrrrry familiar with them, then you can sex them by their helmets. Obviously, since yours is still a baby, it doesn't have a helmet, so you'll have to wait till it starts calling to know.

#1 is an easter egger (EE), and also a pullet

#3 does look like a buff orpington, and is also a pullet

ETA: A bird that hatches from a blue or green egg and has green legs is always an easter egger

Thanks so much everyone for the information. The gunea is verbal and I think it sounds like 2 syllables.. But I will have to listen more closely, because it isn't verbal very much.
