EE a rooster? Or Mix breed?

[CactusChicken]

Hello!
My mother and I have been raising backyard chicken for about 8 years now. We have a new wave of chicks that we picked up at the beginning of March that we're raising and were quite confused about. Our first wave a chicken we had a few EE and they look like what we expected. In this wave, we picked up 9 EE and a few of them have this tuft of feathers on the top of their heads behind their combs. I'm starting to wonder if these are roos, a mixed breed, or are we overthinking it? Any help with this would be appreciated. (pictures attached below one of our silkies are in the background)

(Edit: I understand they are cross-bred you didn't have to be rude about it I meant a different cross than I've seen before, thanks. that was a very warm welcome)

Easter eggers are already mixed breeds It's just a term for any non-purebred chicken that might lay green or blue eggs.

My guess is that these are EEs from a cross involving Cream Legbars, which do have crests.

They're likely not males, but are EEs and mixed breeds

They look like crested cream legbars.

They look like crested cream legbars.

interesting, because half of the 9 chicks have the tuft and the other half don't and they all have the same markings. That's cool though, never heard of those.

They're hatchery quality, so that's to be expected.

They're a breed that lays blue eggs.
