Breed and sex help!

Found out that I have at least 1 rooster. Here are some other chickens I am not sure about.
One is an Americauna (sp), one is a black copper marans and one is a silkie crossed with????

I believe the lighter silkie mix is a Cockerel and the rest are pullets. He might be a OEGB mix.

OEGB? What is that?
And thank you for the reply!

Well it is my understanding that if they have little tufts sticking out of their faces, on their cheeks (these are called "muffs") and green legs and feet, they are "Easter Eggers" and should lay colored eggs, either bluish, greenish or pink. Each hen will lay her own particular color egg. They will have some Ameraucana breeding in them but also be mixed with other breeds too. They tend to be calm, quiet, relaxed, friendly birds and good foragers. Most of my flock is EEs and I am quite partial to them even though some people disdain them for being "mutts." You seem to have a few, so, lucky you!

I was sold this americauna as a purebred. Is there such a thing? I was told it would lay blue eggs assuming it is a girl

Nope. It is not purebred.

That sucks! I sure hope it is a she and still lays nice eggs though! I can only have a few chickens where I am so I was hoping for a nice little variety

Purebred Ameraucanas are sold as specific varieties such as these wheaten hens in the center.
