Some are going to be mixes and some are going to be purebred Americaunas because the one and only rooster was an Americauna and we had a few Americauna hens the rest of the hens were either Cochin Frizzle bantam or Barred Rock. I can't remember who came out of the green eggs..

All the EE type chicks that I've ever had looked like a chipmunk as a chick

... so it's hard telling with those 2... I'd say they're probably not pure ... but who knows

This is what all the ones I've ever got from a store look like:

a LONG time ago ... my cochin hatched a green egg from and by Araucana's and she came out black like the little one you have

and stayed black too ...

It'll be interesting to see what they are when they're older

I would look at the leg color. Americaunas have a slate grey or greenish hue to their legs. Mine were a little older than yours' appear but they had indications of the muffs started. The group photo looks like there may Americaunas there but it is difficult to tell. Unless you want them for show, enjoy the ride. Chickens are a trip.
