Can you help figure out what breed we are? *updated*

Well I tried to get a another pic of the last ones face, but shes camera shy lol. From what I can tell, the comb is flat against her face, except for a little point near the top of her head. She is definitely outsized by the EE'ers. Hope this helps....

Hmmm, now that I look at the pics, it sort of looks like she has a comb on either side, but they are very small yet. I'm even more confused lol.
 
Awww very pretty!

I didn't even consider a Campine. I think that was one that MMH listed as being included in the Ornamental Collection. I will go look up Campine chick pics now.
 
All EEs. Just like my sons he picked out. Most colored like yours, but a couple came same pattern but white instead of the gold color, and one came solid buff. All EEs, just different "flavors"....Good luck with your little birds...

Ok, I finally got a decent pic of one of my EE'ers and this mystery girl together.

The EE'er on the left has a single comb, but the one on the right looks like it has a double comb or maybe a cup comb? Im not really sure, maybe someone might have another guess as to what the one on the right is?

Second one down is definately not an Orloff, at least a pure one... Orloffs have yellow legs, here is a pic of a young pure Spangled Orloff Chick and a bird that's about 3 months, I have some that are in between and will try to get a good pic of their feathering but they aren't being cooperative right now

I think we have agreed that the first 3 are EE'ers. Its this last one that is remaining a mystery lol. I think the possibilities so far are Golden Pencilled Hamburg, Golden Campine or a Sicilian Buttercup.

Does anyone have any of those 3 that the feet and comb look similar to?
 
Oh I just can't decide...lol At first I thought Buttercup for sure because the pic wasn't clear. Now it looks like she might be developing a rose comb which would indicate a Hamburg. You can see the tip pointing back toward s you in the first pic. In the second one you don't see it as much so in that pic I lean towards Buttercup again. Definitely not a Campine...they have straight combs. Big ones, so she would probably have already developed more. Not an Orloff either. Not sure where that was suggested but definitely not.

At the very bottom of the Hamburg page on Feathersite they have a 3 week old pic.

You know the tips of her toes are yellow? She may not be pure...or that could just be hatchery quality for you.
 
She looks very similar to that 3 week old pic on Feathersite. And her toes look the same as that pic too, they are like a whitish pink I guess about halfway down.

She does have a little pointy thing at the top of her comb. The comb looks totally different from all my other chicks.

So all this would suggest a Gold Pencilled Hamburg then?

Thanks for all your help

Oh, the Orloff was what someone thought the second pic I posted was. Because she was/and is poofier than my other 2 EE'ers, and had a fluffier face and her ear area is much different. She doesnt have that line coming off her eye like my other 2 EEers do either. Could this one be a Golden Campine instead of an Orloff? The pics I looked up show a grayish green leg on them also.
These were my two EEers as chicks.

Im fine with them all being EEers, I was supposed to get 8 different breeds in my order from MMH and so far I have identified...WC Black Polish, White Polish, EEers, Phoenix, Hamburg?, Crevecoeur (that died), and 2 that are still unknown but the same breed. That makes 7, so if this last one is a different breed that would make 8. And I got a Blue Andalusian as my exotic chick, dont know if they include that as your 8 or not.
