Purchased these 2 at TSC. One EE and one assorted bantam. They are 10+ weeks old. What do you think?
Thanks for your time!

Is one of them smaller than the other? Unless #2 is little, I think you got two EEs, not a bantam (and if it is a bantam, it's an EE one). They both look exactly like my Olive Egger from Cackle (but via a feed store, so she may also be an EE!)

Mine is also the same exact age. Agree with Tookie that the second one looks more suspicious - in general EEs with red/rust on the wings are boys - but the pattern almost looks like lacing. I think it could go either way. Give them a couple more weeks to see if they develop hackles and saddles.

Pic of my girl below so you can see the coloring and similar neck feathering. Excuse her; she was a little wiggly because I'd just brought out the watermelon. As you can see, I've got another EE that has some orange on her wings; I've been going back and forth on it, too.
