2 Hens

Both?

Yes

Just to be an EE means crossed. There is no standard for them.

The great thing is that means you get some really cool looking birds and variety in egg colors.

I'm just about positive that the second one is a Black Star.

Size is off for a Black Sexlink. Look at her compared to the Brown Leghorn next to her. She much smaller.

Yes she is smaller than the leghorn, but not as small as my Cochin hens.
So what other breed would give her all the black points on her face?

True, I was thinking that Gray Farms was thinking she wasn't an EE either...

She may have a little Silkie back through her parentage. That would explain her dark face and smaller size. What color is her skin?

Its nearly impossible to know for sure though.
