A few of my girls have little spots in their cheeks. I’m wondering if this is a trait of a certain breed? They’re Easter Eggers.

Welcome to BYC! :frow

That's the color of their ear lobes.

Some breeds will have red. Some will have white. Some will have white laid over red like sex links and hybrids. The white laid over dark skin like Silkies can make it appear blue.

Easter Eggers.. don't have ANY standard of perfection and can come in white or red lobes, be bearded or clean faced, and have many feather patterns. Straight combs have also started to be common among EE.. as many new strains have been developed and not all are meant to "represent the Ameraucana breed" any more
 
She's pretty. Is she doing the "squat?" Looks about ready to lay in a few weeks as her comb turns darker red. And her ear color looks same as my EE who has been laying beautiful light blue eggs for about a year. ENJOY!
