Are you sure she’s an austra white? It almost looks like she has a modified pea comb.The white with black specks might be Austra Whites a cross of white leghorn and black australorp , I have one named Powder

I don’t see any without red leakage in the OP’s photos. There are only two white hens.
What about her rose comb?I agree that the first hen is a red sex link. Also known as bovan browns or isa browns. This is a thread that mentions RSL crosses involving wyandottes: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/cinnamon-queen-thread.938674/#post-14380819.
The other two both have red leakage, so they aren’t austra whites. I’ve seen a few similar hens on here, but I couldn’t find the breed. They’re very likely leghorn hybrids.
Rose comb is due to the wyandotte involved in the cross.What about her rose comb?
Your leghorn hybrids aren’t California whites- that cross doesn’t have red leakage. As for the red hen, look at the pictures on this post: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/cinnamon-queen-thread.938674/post-14381458. Cinnamon queens/ISA browns/bovan browns/red sex links are usually a cross of leghorn x RIR, but sometimes hatcheries use a cross of silver laced wyandotte x RIR, producing chickens like your red hen.Thank you every one! I have found out the white ones are California Whites. I'm still not sure about the brown one though. I don't believe she is an ISA brown. She is much darker. Also when she was younger she had really pretty grey colored under feathers too. I do believe..if I remember correctly.. the breed did have the word "brown" in it. But when I google brown breeds, all I find is ISA brown. I'm still open to any other possible ideas. She looks similar to my new Hampshire reds, but she is darker. Thank you again!
Your pretty orange girl is Isa brown. They are fun friendly hensPlease help! I need help determining what breed my hens are. I have two white chickens with a few black spots on them. I got them from tractor supply but have forgotten what breed they are. Any ideas? The reddish brown hen also came from tractor supply. Her under feathers have a beautiful gray color. She looks similar to the new Hampshire reds I also have, but that's not her breed. All I remember about her was her breed had the word "brown" in it.. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
They just started laying, and I'm trying to determine who is laying which eggs.
Thanks!

From my experience the chickens from tractor supply have very poor genetics from I would imagine inbreedingThe top hen, the red one, is NOT an ISA Brown.
She has a rose comb.
Some hybrid - a Dixie Rainbow?
The bottoms are Whites of some sort, like an California White (more likely then an Austra - where would they get the ginger?
And as I mentioned the tractor supply chickens are like that. Meaning the comb is not right by your standards but fine by theirsYour pretty orange girl is Isa brown. They are fun friendly hens
