Could someone post a pic for me? GLW or maybe a welsumer?

Birds that lay green or blue colored are called EE's and the can be of any or serveral mixed breeds. Ameraucana and Araucanas have tufts and beards and they are recognized separate breeds. To often chickens that lay green or blue, Ameraucanas and Araucanas are all called EEs.
 
I received 5 Ameracauna chicks from Ideal recently. 2 of the 5 do not have noticeably puffy cheeks, but all have greenish legs. Here is a photo of 4 of them:

The 2 on the ends have definite puffy cheeks - the 2 in the middle do not. Sorry the photos doesn't really show this well.
 
I've got welsummers and a GLW. Here are pictures of both:

GLW, 2 days old:

Welsummer, 3 days old:

And a bonus EE pic, 12 days old:

Well, she didn't look like any of those. She had the blotchy patches around the eyes, but they were almost white and black. I guess she probably is just some mixed up EE! Her head is definitely a golden color.
 
I don't think she's a dark cornish. I got her from the pullet bin at Farm & Home and they get them from Welp's.
