Mystery Chickens

[BPeregrinus]

I'm completely new to raising chickens. An acquaintance gave me a rooster and two hens but had no idea what breed they are. Any ideas?

You've got 2 buff ones and 1 golden one. The roo and lighter hen is a buff the darker one is a golden.

They are Brabanters. 1 is I think what they call a cream Brabanter, and the other two are chamois colored.

*No, the above is correct because they don't have beards. They are appenzeller spitzhaubens. The buff is very rare in the U.S. if it exists at all.
