Help! I have three (I hope) ladies around 2 months old that I'm questioning.

The seller said the white one is a leghorn, but she is enormous and has grown much faster than the other two- her legs are quite large. Super docile and sweet in temperament. She has the reddest and largest waddle/comb of the three.

The brownish gray is supposed to be an easter egger, but (s)he's always been more dominant/aggressive than I'd expect? Also more vocal- no crowing but louder "honking" once in a while? From what I can tell, this one's comb doesn't have three rows of peas.

The black one is supposed to be a Jersey Giant. This one has always been more docile and friendly, but has started "squaring off" with the EE- I've read this can be male behavior but is also sometimes seen in females. This one's feathers seem the most questionable to me.

Any help is appreciated...

I got them from a local hatchery who said they were sexed, but things happen :)
Okay, then you have 1 Easter egger pullet and 1 black sex link pullet. The white bird is almost certainly a Cornish cross, a meat bird, and could be either a pullet or more likely a cockerel, with that comb. Unfortunately, Cornish crosses will not live very long as they are raised for meat.
