What breed are my hens?

I got these three hens about two years ago, I originally thought they were buff Orpingtons but later realized they weren’t bc they didn’t have the traditional single comb. Curious if anyone could tell me.

Hard to tell without seeing full bodies and legs, but I think they are probably buff Chanteclers. This is a variety that hasn't been accepted into the Standard of Perfection, but they are available from a few sources and probably a hatchery or two.

I agree, I think they are buff Chanteclers.

Oh ok! Yeah they definitely do look similar to the buff chanteclers thank you! I just hatched out some of their chicks crossed with my blue Ameraucana rooster. They are fluffy little things lol

Here’s a few pics. I wish I got better ones from the front. They seem to have the gold buff on their foreheads and a brownish grey over the rest of their bodies. I need to get better front pics.

They are pretty for sure. I hope you post some pictures of them when they're grown. It's an unusual cross.

Yeah I should try and update as they grow. I do find it hard to see what crosses are out there when I research it’s helpful when people post on this site.
