My babies are six weeks!! 🥰 anyone know what breed the white and cream colored chicks are or what color eggs they’ll lay? I was sold them as leghorns. I assume they’re a mix. They have green feet and two of them have little Mohawks happening. Pretty sure they’re all female. They have very small combs compared to my roo and are still yellow.

They look like Leghorns... but they also look alot like Easter eggers (cross-breeds that are bred to lay green, blue or pink eggs), specifically, legbar crosses. Perhaps they are leghorn x legbar?

Here are a few pics of EEs that look similar to your poults:

Edit: Ah bingo! Here is a specific easter egger cross called a "sapphire." It is allegedly a cross between a legbar and a leghorn. Looks alot like your peeps: https://www.backyardchickens.com/th...gender-either-suppose-to-be-sapphire.1133546/

Wow! They really do look like they could be easter Eggers. I’m anxious to see what color eggs they lay now!! I always though my other chick who was labeled a leghorn but has black Feathers I thought was a Delaware- but looking at the pictures you posted he could be an Easter Egger too
