Not sure what chicken breeds I have

This past june, I purchased what I had thought were six Cinnamon Queen hens. When I got home, I realized that three of them were not cinnamon Queens. They were something else, and I have no idea. I thought they might be Starlight Green Eggers, but since they all started laying, none of them are green. So I don't know what I have. I have dark brown eggs which I believe are from the cinnamon Queens and lighter pinkish tan eggs that I thought could be from Easter eggers, and I've tried to research which hens lay that color egg and the photos of the hens don't match what I have. I'll attach photos of my chickens and their eggs. I don't know which chicken is laying which egg because I obviously don't see them lay their eggs. I have three dark brown hens which I thought were all Cinnamon Queen but two of them have a squishy wrinkly comb and one of them has a standard chicken comb and the Golden tan hens all have the same spiky comb. The dark brown chickens aren't keen on being touched, but the Golden brown chickens love to be petted

Where did you get them from ? And Welcome to BYC!!!
Thank you. I got them from Tractor Supply. At the time there were only selling australorps, Americanas(sp?), and cinnamon queens. And the golden hens don't match any of them. I called them and they said I may have gotten Starlight Green Eggers by mistake, but I don't think so because none of the eggs are green
 
Thanks. I wasn't sure bc I purchased them from Tractor Supply and they were selling Cinnamon Queens, Amercaunas(sp?), and Auatralorps at that time and the Golden ones didn't match any. I called and they said I may have mistakenly gotten Starlight Green Eggers 🤷
Birds get mislabeled alot at TSC.
