Need breed identification help!

Just for comparison purposes. Here is my EE roo as a chick, then my asian, then their chick. You can see almost nothing of her mom in her at all.

From personal experience EE mixes keep you guessing. They are hard to sex because they take on a random collage of traits from each parent. Those beautiful red hens look nearly identical. So i don't know. It is possible. I know my EE with both EE parents has her own color pattern. She is darker brown than her mother and took on some of her fathers black but no grey. So...

I did not even look at their combs. I really shouldn't BYC and multi-task.

These came from a hatchery?

I bought them from my local pet store.

They’ve always looked almost identical. They have very little differences in markings. When they were chicks the only way I could tell was one was slightly a shade darker

It was driving me bonkers. They may be buckeye hens.

 

[BunnyEberhart]

If so they will lay brown eggs.

I think you may have found it! The eggs I have been recently getting look similar to my quick google search of buckeye eggs too!
