Just got these guys and I'm thinking 2 are roos, no tail feathers and wings are entirely a different shape, much shorter otherwards.

Feathers can't tell you anything at that age. wing sexing is not super reliable and is only useful for a very brief time in the first few days. What are they mixed with?

Not sure, they were called easter eggers before i got them, but i dont see ee in them. But maybe it's somewhere in the gene-line. Other then that all i know is bcm.

If they're bcm crosses, they could be olive eggers, those are considered ees.
Where did you get them?
 
I agree someone probably crossed BCMs with EEs so there is no guarantee what you will get. I have a BCM Ameraucana mix I hatched from an egg and she lays boring old brown eggs so no guarantee the eggs will even be cool colors.
 
Ones getting a lot of white specks on the chest, one of the ones i suspected to be a roo at first, the other one i suspect of being a roo also has some white on the chest. The pullet so far is completely black, and the only one with yellow on the feet and has the most feathers.
