Breed please.. 2 hens

What types are these two hens?

I got mine from a breeder. She does not have fluffy cheeks this young and most hatchery chicks won't get them, sometimes hatcheries mistake americauna's for easter eggers but most easter eggers get the fluffy face.

Ameraucana have muffs from hatch. If yours doesn't have them now, they won't get them.
Hatcheries label their easter eggers as 'AmerIcana' all the time, note the spelling. You have to look close at the description. All Ameraucana, from a breeder or otherwise, will always list what the color type of that breed is; i.e. wheaton, blue, black, buff etc. Anybody who sells them, without a standard color, and it doesn't follow breed standard; i.e. slate legs, muffs and beard, pea comb, standard color... They're selling EE.

If forced to guess, I would go game/Wyandotte crosses.

Americana is what tractor supply said but i thought that needed fluffy cheeks to be .. maybe they are right.

Nope - I have an easter egger with perfectly normal cheeks. She is my most reliable layer. Enjoy!

note the spelling. Americana, with the I in the middle is an Easter Egger.

Where did you get them?

Dark one at tractor supply, the lighter brown one from a friend

The dark one is probably an easter egger then, the other... some sort of barnyard cross. It will be interesting to see what color eggs she lays.

Easter Eggers, most likely.
