Breed? Color? Sex?

[pterobeast]

Hello! Newish chicken owner here, I purchased these guys from TSC, sold as Ameraucanas. Any help and insight would be appreciated on possible coloration as they age and if they are actually what they were sold as. The all black one was sold as a mystic maran. All chicks pictured were sold sexed female so if something doesn’t look right let me know! I’ve tried looking for similar threads however I haven’t seen chicks with some of these colorations so I’m a bit lost

Chick 1 fits a Mystic Marans

Chick 8 is maybe one of the green eggers, like Starlite Green egger.

The rest look like regular Easter eggers. These aren't bred for color but will have mixed colors, with many looking roughly like brown Leghorn females.

Thank you @JedJackson for solving my chicken mystery. I just googled Brown Leghorn Hen and yes, that is exactly the color one of my EE's is *plus* it has the white earlobes. I have been wondering for a very long time what else might be in the mix! And I suppose it might explain their small body size and flighty nature.

Green legs points me to EE as well.

Some Easter eggers like Whiting True Blues and I think Prairie Blubell Eggers are crosses with Leghorns, but for regular Easter eggers I was just using the coloring of brown Leghorns as an example of what was somewhat similar. Some Easter eggers are silver, too. They can be just about any color.

Here is the adult EE chicken, who looked a lot like Chick #3 when young.

Thank you! I appreciate it, the more I read about breeds and breed characteristics the more doubts I had

3, 5, 7, 9,10,11 all look like what I got from them about two months ago and they sold them to me as Easter Eggers.
