The chicken on the left, looks like my RIR. They are often referred to as Production Reds, since Hatchery grade is not equal to Rhode Island Reds breed at SOP.
Chicken in middle may be a mix.
The little chicken on right looks like a chicken I had. It was a Salmon-Cochin mix. (bantam)
WISHING YOU BEST,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and :welcome
 
Thanks Cavemanrich! The guy we bought them from said the 2 reds were the same breed? We are totally naive.
If supplier said SAME BREED.:thumbsup
Then the answer is simple. They are refereed to as a Barn-yard Mix. That simply means that they are not true to breed, and their genetics, produce different looking offspring.
Mutts make good chickens. As long as they produce good eggs, all is fine.
On the other thread you mention that one is aggressive. Try one of the 2 suggested solutions. Maybe there will be other IDEAS posted.
 
First one looks like my RIR. Second one looks like my ISA browns which is a red mix and the last one I don’t think is any type of red but she’s lovely. I didn’t see your thread about one being aggressive. Which one? My RIR’s are all very sassy and establish there order real quick but I have an ISA I have watch for when I’m in there.

The black chicken is a bantam, the one in my profile pic is Lucy, a bantam. She's the one getting picked on :-(
 
The one on the left is a production red. The one in the middle is a red sex link, which is a mix between a white rooster (often leghorn) and a RIR or production red.
Wow! You really know your chickens! I just looked them up and they look identical to mine! Thanks :)
 
Far left looks like a RIR (Rhode Island Red)

Middle looks like our rooster, who (we think) is a Red Sex Link

Not sure what the far right one is but s/he’s cute!

A red sex link cockerel would be mostly white with bits of red, opposite in color to a red sex link pullet which is mostly red with bits of white.
