Are these TSC bantams EEs?

Could any of these bantams be EEs? How can I tell? and if not, what are they? I got them out of the TSC bantam bin!

#1 and #2

#3

#4

I do not see any beards, so I would guess no.

I do not have any idea what they might be...................

Number 3 is a sebright, I think . . . .

None of the EE that I bought at TSC last year had beards. And one of them lays a brown egg . . .

my past experience with tsc bantam bin, i say most of them will be roos......
last year i bought 8 & 7 of them were roos!!!!!

I did not think EEs in general had to have beards. Only if they were Ameraucanas or Araucanas. I was so hoping for EEs.

andrea98 - that would be soooo annoying to have 7 out of 8 be roos!!! I got 10 this year (my first chickens ever!!!) and I am hoping for at least 6 hens. I'm in town and can't have roosters. I also got 12 red sex-links for my egg production. My bantams were definitely an impulse item!

they don't seem to have green legs, but i can't really tell, i would say an 85% chance of them being EEs.

They they aren't OEGBs. They could be Dutch though, which look the same, but have dark legs.


I would say number three is very likely to be an EE, if any of them are. EEs are mutts, therefore they don't ALWAYS have to have muffs. But most of them do. The others could be OEGBs I guess.
