Baby chicks grabbed at TS

Does anyone know what these are, they were grabbed from the same bin but they all look so different- first time chicken owner

Where did you get them? What did the bin label them as? Some of them appear to be Easter Eggers.

Those are Easter Eggers. Prepare for some pretty eggs in the future.

The person told me they were Easter riggers but some of them look different so I was wondering if they got mixed? Or are they just all Easter egggers?

Easter eggers aren’t a breed precisely, they’re hybrids bred to lay blue or green eggs.

Which is to say, it’s normal that they don’t match each other.

They are Easter Eggers. Easter Egger is not a breed and it is a mix that carries the blue or green egg gene and has an Ameraucana somewhere in their lineage. You will see a lot of other definitions for "Easter Egger" but this is the correct one based on history facts (people first began giving the name "Easter Egger" to birds that carry the blue or green egg gene and have Ameraucana in their lineage.)
