Hi everyone. I'm new here but have been browsing for quite awhile. Picked up some babies a few months ago and was told they were born around July 1st. I was told they were Easter eggers. Not sure if they all are, the white one looks different from the others (always has ever since we got them). Any guesses on males or females for these three?
Any guesses?

No green legs at all. I do not think you got any EE's.
The dark one is a barred rock.
The last one looks like a Columbian rock and possibly male with that red of a comb so young.
The first one looks like a crossbreed that has some crested parentage in there somewhere.
I will be interested in seeing what others say.

Still learning so much- Didn't know that about the green legs. Used to have chickens years ago, but just the RIRs, this is a whole new experience!
Someone is definitely crowing in the mornings now, pretty sure it is the one in the last pic. I thought the other two may be pullets though.
I think you may be right about who is crowing. The first two look like females to me.

They just came from a local farm. I'm assuming they are all mixes, but I keep going back and forth between pullets or not with the first two. Always fun to guess though. I got them as small chicks the second week of July.

The first one looks like a pullet, and not an easter egger.
The second one looks like a cockerel, and not an easter egger. Could you get a picture of its saddle feathers?
The third one looks like a cockerel, and an easter egger mix (possibly with some brahma). Could you get a picture of its saddle feathers?
Not a columbian rock, he has the wrong comb and a beard.No green legs at all. I do not think you got any EE's.

The dark one could be a cuckoo maran. Here's a pic of one of mine.

Mine hatched at the end of May, and from what they looked like, your last 2 are going to be your roosters. I'm new at this, too, and I just learned that Easter Eggers have green legs!

No EEs there! Looks like maybe a barred rock/possible cuckoo maran. I can't decide if the legs are white or yellow.....white one looks like a mix. The white one with black looks like a cockerel, and would agree with columbian rock, but they have single combs. I would guess columbian Wyandotte, but he may have the wrong comb for that too. So he may be a mix as well.
