How old, what breed,

Where did you get them? They look a few days old/less than a week. That front one may be a Cochin as I see feathered legs.

ETA: The one in the back...a GLW maybe?

I got them at our new Wilco, it wasn't the ladys regular department and they couldn't find the sales clerk,, non of the signs had names,, she only knew that they were all girls and for eggs only,,,, my family had adults chicken while I was a kid,, but I know very little of them

I also got one that looks like a chipmunk

My guess is that one's a brown leghorn. Are the two white ones the same?

I looked through what Wilco offers. I don't see Cochins, so that front one might be a Salmon Faverolle

No?? 1 has fuzzy feet, a reply stated maybe a Cochin, but the other looks like a run of the mill chicken. Except "she's"? Quite lethargic? Tame? Soft but not limp? I'm very new to this

That was me that suggested Cochin, but I didn't see them on what Wilco offers, so I think they may be a Salmon Faverolle instead. The one that's lethargic might be stressed. I'd suggest putting electrolytes like Sav-A-Chick in their water. If you don't have that, scrambled eggs work in a pinch. Check their rears frequently to make sure they don't have droppings clinging to their vents, a condition known as "pasty butt". If they do, remove it gently with warm water and a soft cloth or cotton swab. Don't scrub, especially if you're new...you don't want to confuse the navel and a poopy vent.
