what breed is this?

Respectfully disagree - the "lacing" is wrong for even a poorly marked hatchery grade GLW - this is a black sex link.

Agree on black sex link. Laced birds have a marking colored rim around a base colored feather, not a base colored rim around a marking colored feather. In this case, lacing would be black around gold.

That's one of the breeds (black sex link) I thought it could be. Thank u all I'm very new to chickens and just trying to learn

Here's another one of the black ones I have 3.

Also are these hens a production red too?

Yes, those are PR. The black one has a single comb, so not a GLW. Black Sex-Link probably.

The red and white hens are more likely red sex links. Production reds and RSL are both red hybrids, but PR do not have the silver factor [white] leakage because they are not bred for sex linking.

The mostly red bird is probably a PR, though.

I don't believe that's a GLW, hatchery or breeder! Here's my hatchery GLWs!

I hate to say it Basskids08 but the op's bird is a hatchery quality GLW. With all the out-crossing and cross breeding that hatcheries do every now and the you will get GLW's that look like this..

Well we can agree to disagree because that isn't a hatchery GLW or any Wyandotte at all! Looks more like my BSL than anything!

Oh I just wanted to also point out that even though this one isn't a GLW, it is possible for them to have single combs!

I know, I was just pointing out the fact it did have one. That is a good indicator of another breed altogether, and paired with the way off coloring it's definitely not a GLW.
