I am sorry to be a nuisance; but I wonder if anyone has any idea what colours these are please? I'd like to know the "proper" names (probably daft). Also, while I obviously did a lot of research about chicken keeping, does anyone have a book to recommend for breeds and colours? That way I can stop being a nuisance!
Many thanks:

All are bantams 7 weeks old and incubator hatched here.

1: (frizzle)






2: (blue milifleur?)




3: (shy little frizzle, mainly black, two very small white marks either side of mouth)





Thank you all ever so much for your help.
 
Are there feathers on their feet? Because they could be cochin bantams if they have feathered feet.
Picture 1- buff frizzle bantam cochin
Picture 2- maybe a mottled bantam cochin
Picture 3- black frizzle cochin

1. Buff frizzle cochin, probably rooster
2. Mottled cochin? Looks like a pullet
3. Black frizzle cochin, probably a pullet.
 
Thank you veer67 and Wyandottes7 , I really do appreciate your help
Can I ask, what is the difference between Pekin and Cochin? We have two hens which we were told were Pekin, am now wondering if they are as they have a lot of feather to their feet:

Cochins are the same breed of chicken as Pekins, just known by different names. They're known as Cochins in the United States, and as Pekins in the UK.
