This is my curious, adventerous hen Georgia

( like curious george lol) she was formally known as "nut" to match her sisters name coco. This is Coco, she is brown with white feathers on her neck,
 
The black/white one is either a Barred Plymouth Rock or a Dominique--it depends on the comb type, which I can't see from the photo. A Dominique will have a rose comb, and a Rock will have a single comb.

As for your brown hen, she reminds me a little of a Red Sex-Link. However, the coloring seems just a bit off to me if that were the case (she almost has lacing and is rather light). She is probably some sort of Rhode Island Red or New Hampshire mix. I don't think she is an Easter Egger, since she lacks many EE traits: greenish legs, muffs/beard, pea comb, etc.

Both hens are very pretty!

When I was writing this thread,i accidentally pushed post before i could finish. My finished thread you commented on a minute ago, and yes the black one is a barred rock hen with a single conb and shes very sweet.
