We recently added 9 new chicks to our flock. Most of them were easy to identify breed (Polish, Faverolle, Marans, etc.). But then I got these 4 and they're stumping me..based on what we bought, they should be:

1 Easter Egger
1 Olive Egger
1 Cream Legbar
1 Speckled Sussex

But I can't figure out which is which! Between the slate legs and the cheeks, I'm guessing #1 is either our OE or our EE. And EE's and OE's are mutts, so no point in trying to identify them. ;-) But do either the CL or the SS have any identifying characteristics to know which they are? Or do we just need to wait for them to feather out?

1 is the Easter egger
3 has me thinking sussex or 2.

4 could be ccl or olive.

We’re you able to figure it out? I had a hard time with my chipmunk chicks last year too. They may be all the right breeds , but looking at the leg color helps.
 
Is #3 the cream legbar?
Number 4’s feet look like a tinted color (yellow?) . Number 3s legs look more flesh color and I remember my speckle Sussex having a more pink color and the olive egger had a yellowish hue. I just have no idea of ccl chicks. And 3 chipmunk color chicks are hard to identify 😅. But you never know !! Lol.
