I've had these for about 13 wks now. I purchased them all as pullets from tractor supply (I know, I know. ) one of my rhode islands turned out as a little roo & one of my easters is for sure a cockerel too (I was dead set it was a pullet when it was younger & pulled a fast one on me.) My twins are one of my biggest questions (1 & 2) and #3 has me perplexed as well. That particular chick doesn't show typical characteristics of your average easter egger. 4,5, & 6 aren't in question since they're very obvious to me.

Beautiful chicks!
I'm no expert, but I got chicks from Tractor Supply too, about the same age and breeds.
1 & 2 look like our Easter Egger pullets.
3 looks like our Welsummer pullet.

My goodness! She does look like a welsummer! Never heard of them until now.
 
One identifying feature is the Welsummer have light colored legs.
Yea, her ghostly pale legs struck me as such an odd think. EE typically have blue/grey/greenish color or an orangey yellow (at least the 2 roos I have do & the others I've seen) apparently TS gave me an easter egg in my batch of actual easter egg chicks 😂
