Easter eggers - Americauna & Buff Brahma?, and a black sex link?

They need more space right because of their size? How big should the opening be for them to get in?
I guess we will find out for sure once they start laying depending on the color of eggs.

Maybe a bit more, but not too much. A general rule of thumb is 4sq ft per chicken in the coop.

12"x12" at most I'd say.

Yep!

Previous owner gave me pictures of them as chicks (brown ones). Does this help? She was convinced they were EEs.

They do look much different than Buff Brahmas should look as chicks.

It would be quite unusual I'd say if they were mixed breeds, since they came from TSC.

I guess since they are slow growing, some might be boys. I thought at this point I would know but I'm not sure now. I'm actually hoping some are, lol if they are brahmas I don't want roosters! Some of their combs seem redder than others but no red-red yet, just darker pink on some.

From what I can tell I see all girls right now.
