They are around 3-4 weeks old. Bought them from the mystery pullet bin at the feed store. They are friendly little guys.

My husband brought this chicken home. He can't remember what the lady said it was. He sure she didn't say Rhode Island Red, but that's about it. Also it's supposed to be a rooster, but I can't tell if it is or isn't yet. It's a bout 4 months old.

Thanks in advance!
 
I have an EE hen and with green legs, and they are not the same color as the chicks. I looked up pictures of the blue andalusian chicks and they do look very similar.

Easter Egger come in all sorts of colors. My girl looks just like yours a little. And she is definitely a EE. Here's are a few pics of my chick.
But at that age is really hard to tell. But I must be wrong because everyone here says that her legs are black to slate. As the pic to me (I am somewhat color blind) look greenish. Excuse my inbreeding! LOL. It could be a Blue Andalusian after all. It doesn't seem to have the puffy cheeks.

No idea about the chicks. WHY do people say EE for just about every unknown bird? I don't know what they are, but they have slate, not willow (green) legs. Their plumage is blue.

The red might be New Hampshire. It is not a red sexlink, and is certainly not a red sexlink cock. Red sex-links pullets have white in their feathers, and the males are mostly white. Body type is wrong for both New Hampshire and RIR, it could be age, but I think there is more to it. Likely a cross--body & tail look really long.
