Bantam chicks breed identification

I have a brahma feathering exactly like that! However light brahmas have feathers down their legs.. Mysterious! I'll do some research and get back with you later today :)
(Mine is a little bigger and has feathered legs)

Updated pictures again, hopefully this answers some questions :) I love getting all of your feedback. I think the red chick is a rooster. He's got such an attitude, feathers are coming in slowly, really long legs, no tail at all yet. When he stands up, his posture already looks like a rooster! They grey one's feathers have come in much more quickly and she (guessing) is really mellow, likes to be held, a very sweet little chick.







 
Thanks for your reply! I was thinking maybe bantam Ameraucana for the grey chick, curious why you say Easter Egger instead. We use to have several standard sized EE's, until a fox got in our coop. They were great birds. It's kind of fun having a couple of mystery chicks! We currently have 9 chicks total, but know the breeds of the rest.

I just found this post and thought I would update in case it helps anyone else. All three chicks turned out to be roosters, 2 we still have and one lives with a neighbor now. Chick 1 is a mottled Cochin, chick 3 is a bantam RIR, and chick 2 my best guess is still Easter Egger, I don't have a current picture of him but here are the other two all grown up!
