[Lhosick]

Buff orpington and Easter Egger look like males to me.

Thank you those are the two I though but was also not sure of the black and white one. It is apparently an Americauna? I’m new to have it chickens.

Americauna isn't actually a breed, is it a word commonly used to trick people into thinking that they have actual ameraucanas, which are quite a bit more pricey. You probably have an Easter Egger.

Wait, nevermind. Easter eggers have muffs and/or beards. I'm not sure what you have, sorry! Also keep an eye on it, as it is most likely a pullet but possibly a cockerel.

The second Buff could be a cockerel, definitely a hold-and-watch. But the first Easter Egger is really telling cockerel at this point. Because EEs are essentially cool, but mutt chickens, they can come in nearly any size, shape, color, beard, muff, crest- they're just meant to lay bluish or greenish eggs. Your little black and white pullet is a beauty!
