Are these Easter Eggers or..?

[BeaLee]

Hi! New chicken mom here, we picked up 4 pullets from tsc that were labeled as Easter eggers. Now that I’ve looked more things up it seems like most EE chicks look different than mine, I know they vary in colors etc but all of mine are whitish yellow with yellow legs. Could they still be EE or likely something else? I love them either way but I’m curious!

I see, I'll stick with my guess.
The only other breed I *think* it could be would be a cornish cross. Which, is a meat breed.

Or White Rock, which is dual purpose. They've got yellow down, white feathers, single comb, yellow feet-- all the same things a White Leghorn or a Cornish Cross would have at that age.

They do look like the leghorn pictures, the only other thing is that 3 of them have dark spots on their back and heads that you can’t see in the pictures that have gotten darker over the week we’ve had them.

They could be California Whites. Those are basically a Leghorn-mix, white with some black spots, good layers of white eggs.

They are very likely something other than Easter Eggers.

I’m curious how these turn out!

I’ll have to update in a few weeks what they’re looking like! So far they’ve got white wing feathers coming in, one has some black spots on her wings and a couple others are getting more black dots on their bodies and heads so still no idea what they are lol

I would agree with the above messages, these chicks are either White Rock or White Leghorn.

With the black spots though, I don’t think they’re either. I think they’re likely a Leghorn mix like Hoover’s California White or Ideal’s Ideal 236. Most likely the California Whites given TSC usually sources their chicks from Hoovers.

That is one I’m thinking they could be because of the spots! I’ve gotten a lot of suggestions for possible breeds. So far one has black spots on her actual wing feathers too and is much more fluffy than the others lol

Hmm interesting! I have had Easter Eggers with black spots too and a mix of single comb and pea comb but I bred them myself. But still. It is possible. So I guess you will have to wait and see what color they lay lol

We’re fine with whatever breed they end up being, they are very sweet and incredibly social lol it’ll be fun to see them all grown!
This is the “fuzzy” one, my son named her Godzilla

That’s what I’m thinking too, they look different from nearly every EE picture I’ve seen. But now I don’t have any idea what they could be

I would guess they're Leghorns.
Do you recall if TSC had any bins with Leghorns in them?
