Hi, thanks in advance! I bought 3 chickens sold as 3 egg laying Bantam hens. However, I've had them for 3 days and only 2 eggs. I'm wondering if I have a couple of roosters in there. Could you please identify the gender and type of chickens each of them are? There are 3 different ones. Thanks again! ;)

They are all hen the first two look like a silver duckwing and the other is like a nakin
 
First two are Silver Duckwing Old English Game bantams. Third is a Gold Sebright with very poor lacing. They are all hens, @Tycine1 is correct. The stress from moving/traveling/new housing/new sounds/new neighbors typically causes hens to stop laying for anywhere from a few days up to 3 months.
OK, that actually makes sense. I can see that being a pretty traumatic event having been moved around. It seems like laying production is slowly improving. Thanks!

Hi, I appreciate the information and glad they are hens. You said: "Gold Sebright with very poor lacing". Could you please tell me what that means? I'm fairly new to the chicken world and am not familiar with that term. Thanks! ;)

This is what a seabright with good lacing looks like. The black lines on the edges of the feathers of your bird aren't well defined.

@Redhead Rae posted a great pic. The lacing should go all the way around the edge of the feather. Yours is just laced on the very tip of the feathers.
