If they are blue Andalusians they will lay a good sized white egg. Do the grey ones have single combs? Kinda hard to tell from your picture.

Many people call that "blue".

Our mixed pale grey chickies lay a pinkish buff egg. Not nearly as brown as a brown egg, more pink. In another thread, the "blue" chickens tended to be the pink egglayers:

Yes they all taste the same I think the black chick is a rooster the 2 grays are some kind of blue breed. the red is a RIR. I get blue, brown dark brown, pink eggs and they all taste the same.

A single comb has like a saw tooth edge on the top. At five weeks it will look similar to this comb:

Blue Andalusians have a single comb like the one in the picture.

If you can get a better picture of the black one's comb and a good side picture of it's head it might help to determine what sex the bird is. At 8 weeks it really won't have any saddle or pointy hackle feathers yet.
