Whoops! These two:Sorry I meant in my pic the white one and the brown one.
I agree with these 2 being the Easter Eggers, the 2 red/brown are most likely ISA Browns/red sex link pullets. The solid black chick, if the bottom of the feet are white then most likely australorp. If the bottom of the feet are yellow then probably a Jersey giant. That last chick though I'm not so sure about. Can you get a couple pictures of just it? Maybe a good comb shot?Whoops!

Easter Eggers are a bird that carries one or two copies of the blue egg laying gene if you're lucky and results in birds that lay blue or green eggs (but also brown, pink, "olive", etc.). Additionally Easter Eggers have no Standard meaning they can be any color, clean-faced or have muffs/beard, slate or willow legs (or any other color). etc.; while Ameraucanas adhere to specific varieties outlined in the American Poultry Association's (APA) Standard of Perfection (SOP). Hatcheries often capitalize on the consumers being misinformed and purchasing birds that are in all reality wonderful chickens to own but mislabeled. Breeding those birds and selling them at a hobbyist level only continues to promote the very misinformation the hatcheries depend on to sell them in the first place.
