My husband and I were specifically looking for Easter Eggers and we found some at a local farmers market. However, someone recently told me that mine were not Easter Eggers. I was wondering if anyone could tell if they are or not. Sorry for the picture quality, they are so quick its hard for me to get good pics

The first one (brown) does not look like any I've had, but the white one may be, are the legs turning any shade of green yet? If it turns out the white one is, from what I understand the coloring may lead to a male, but they are hard to tell so early, hopefully someone else with more experience will chime in. They are adorable though!

I'm no expert, but generally the EE chicks have the puffy cheek fuzz and usually have green legs. I understand they can be a variety of colors. Sorry, but I cannot tell for sure from the pictures.
 
You might try posting over on the What Breed/Gender is this section. That being said, EE can have yellow legs, I have one

And yes they can be all different colors. And they may or may not have muffs or beards. Basically they are mutts so they can come in many different varieties. I myself am leaning towards yes, they could be EE's. You may not know until they feather out a bit more. With that being said, there have been a few EE's that actually lay pinkish or brown eggs, so they don't always lay blue/green eggs either. Sorry if I have confused you!

Yay! Thank you so much, I was really worried there for a bit. I will post it under what breed too, sorry I forgot we had that section as well

Thank you again everyone!
 
The brown one looks like my lightbrown leghorn. The wing feathers look the same pattern, and the dark brown stripe down the side with too whitish stripes alongside it.

But then again, I am only 33% sure that the chick I think is my leghorn is a leghorn. And lots of chicks look really similar.
 
Looks like EE to me but other breeds have similar patterns, methinks. My EE all had very yellow legs that turned green/gray, maybe by week 3? Now legs are green at 6+ weeks. I have one EE without muffs/beard. The white one looks rooish to me.
