So we picked up quite a few chicks last month, and when we bought them we were told what they were, but it looks as though a couple aren't what we thought. Totally okay, we're just curious what they are :)

What we thought we got:
5 BCM's
2 Easter Eggers
2 Olive Eggers
3 Swedish Flowers

Front left is an Olive Egger Roo (originally thought it was a BCM, was told by the lady we bought them from that it's actually an olive egger). The white/grey/silver one in the middle there we aren't sure, thinking easter egger? Black ones on either side of the white/silver/grey one are BCM's, with another (we think) olive egger laying down just behind. (The others are in better pictures).



This one we were thinking easter egger as well.



(Silver/grey) Easter Egger?



Left to right, Swedish flower, easter egger(?), olive egger(?).



Orange one in the middle of the three? No idea here, thought it was supposed to be an easter egger originally, but it turned orange and none of the others did. Colored like a buff orp, but I have no idea.

 
Easter eggers can be any color, so you can't use that to judge if they are EE. Generally, look for the muffs and green legs to pick out your EEs, muffs and feathered feet for your OEs (assuming they used feather legged Marans and EE or Ameraucana for the mix). Swedish flowers come in all different colors. The Marans should have feathered legs and no muffs, though some sell they without feathered legs, but in any case they will be black.
