Just picked up the chicks below. Hatched on 12/12/20 - 5 1/2 weeks old. Easter Eggers or Olive Eggers? And any guess on gender?

Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers are essentially the same thing. The only difference is that the EE is a blue egg layer crossed with a light brown egg layer, and the OE is a blue egg layer crossed with a dark brown egg layer. You'll only know the difference once they start laying.
It's a bit early to tell their genders, but they all look like girls for now.
 
So it's a bit young to tell anything. I will go out a limb and say the blue circled ones are very likely pullets, while it's too early to tell on the others. I also suspect the green dotted ones to be Olive Eggers due to nothing more than the similarities I see in them to most Olive Eggers. Absolutely could be wrong, but that's my guess for fun

For now I do actually agree with all your guesses.
