They are all very nice looking chucks. Having a male and two females is a good place to start a breeding project. In my opinion, it would be more desirable to obtain a female red back to breed to your male, and a male carrot tail to breed to the female CT, instead of mixing types. Do you have any info on the origin of your second female? State, County, Mt. range, etc. any info could help identify what type she is.
As different populations of chucks have become isolated from eachother, they tend to develop different traits. As a chuck breeder, I prefer to encourage these differences by breeding animals of similar origins together, redbacks to redbacks, granites to granites, etc. I'm sure you wouldn't have too much trouble finding "same type" mates for your chucks, and there are a few people on this forum who may be able to help; if you choose to go that route.

Chucks are a great breeding project, even though they take a lot of time and effort, they are well worth it.
I hope this helps.
