i might be getting these five chicks, but I can only have pullets. I know it’s super early to tell, but does anyone have any guesses?

I got these two out of the Americauna bin at Tractor Supply a couple days ago, along with another, and figured they were all Easter Eggers, which is what I wanted. Then I noticed two of the chicks had feathery legs/feet. What do you guys think?[
