Help ID my flock

[Bullitt]

I bought these "layer hens" from the co-op, which is the closest thing to a chicken breeder around this area. I have had these three hens(?) for one month now:

Lucy, my BO started laying one week after I got her. She lay one small egg on Sunday then no egg Monday, but has laid an egg every day since then for the last 3 weeks. She weighs almost 5lbs
.

Molly, my RIR(?) has not laid any eggs yet but has started squatting, so i think it will be real soon. She weighs 3.75lbs. Not real sure how to tell if a production red or RIR?





And then there's "Maggie".Barely 3lbs, no eggs, doesn't squat, very narrow pelvis. not submissive at all. She(?) will squirm and try and get away if you put your hand on her back and does not like being held. Not sure of the age on any of the three other than I guessing the BO is around 24-25 weeks now, she has been laying 3 weeks.
Any insights on age/sex/breed? Thanks in advance.

Lucy -- Red Sex-Link/Golden Comet hen

Molly -- She may be a Buckeye, which have a pea comb.

Maggie -- Barred Plymouth Rock hen

Here's a pic of one of my BOs. See the evenly color tail


Here's good comparison for production vs RI. The production is up front with white tail, RI laying down with black tail

The one with the white tail looks like a Golden Comet hybrid hen.

Production Reds look much like a Rhode Island Red. A Production Red is just a strain of Rhode Island Red bred for egg production and not trying to meet color or body standards for Rhode Island Reds. Production Reds are usually a little lighter red and not as uniform in color as Rhode Island Reds.

Well good to know! The red breeds are the hardest for me. The 2 I posted for comparison are actually chicks I raised from Cackle. Was going by what the told me and sent me. Sure makes it hard to keep it all straight.

Lucy -- Red Sex-Link/Golden Comet hen

Molly -- She may be a Buckeye, which have a pea comb.

Maggie -- Barred Plymouth Rock hen

Lucy doesn't really have the white under/around the tail like the pics I looked at of RSL and GC? She has a pretty uniform color except for the black coloring on the tips of her tail feathers? I'm guessing she is a cross of different breeds? She is missing a patch of feathers on her back and down both sides and that is where the white color is coming from, it is not white on the tail. I thought if was from one of the roosters at the store but they are in a circle shape right where she can reach so I guess she plucked them out? There are new feathers starting to grow in and refill it was worse when I got her.

Molly definitely has little to no comb growth.

A Red Sex-Link is a cross, usually a Rhode Island Red rooster and Delaware hen. A Golden Comet is a different cross.

After some more pic searching I found a golden comet (if in fact this is a pic of one) that looks just like Lucy.

This is not a pic of my bird but the tail feathers are the same and also the feathers around the neck have the same gold/yellow color to them. She does not have the black around the neck but I would guess this is a pic of an older bird.
Thanks to all for the information, glad to hear Maggie does not need a name change.

Here are some more recent pics of Maggie.

Kind of curious a about the blue/green random feathers and the white legs, that tells me it's not a barred rock? Also the tail and what I think are saddle feathers have me wondering if this is not a soon to be layer but a younger rooster? She has started sparring with Molly and has also jumped on Lucy twice that I have seen.
