First of all, these are not my pics and I do not claim to own them. They are just examples.


^ This is a blue laced red Wyandotte at about the same age as your chicks. Notice how the lacing is much more defined. Also, notice how the beak is a solid yellow. The legs of wyandottes are always yellow as well, which means yours can not possibly be a wyandotte because of the more green color.



^ This is an Easter Egger slightly older than yours. Even though this EE happens to have more red than yours, notice how the coloring is more in random splashes than in a lace pattern. Also (it is sort of difficult to see in this pic) but the tip of the beak is a dark color, as are the tips of the beaks of your birds. Additionally, there is no defined leg color for Easter Eggers. Some of mine have grey, some have green, some have yellow. This one has yellow legs, but yours has the trademark green legs.

Hope this clears things up for you!

All chickens aren't the same

EE are mutts that carry the blue genes, if your going by that Roo in the pic, then why is the legs yellow and not green? Just thought I'd throw that in there

The one on the left is a cockerel, looks to be an EE and the one on the right is a pullet, not sure on her breed, but she is a mix. possibly an EE too.

I think that the blue chick is a BLRW.

They look like yellow legs to me. I already said that.

Ok got some good pics.....and bad news. The friend I got the chicks from said his friend threw a rooster in the mix as a joke I think I got it!!! But he will trade the roo for 2 hens so I guess I come out ahead. Here is Scrappy Doo (Formally Scarlett) and Camila Cluck. If anyone knows their breeds that would good info.
