Oh yeah im guessing EE. I have 2 two year old EE's and a new EE chick this year

That one is a welsummer for sure. I hatched a ton of them. Easy to sex usually too. Looks like a girl. Once it feathers in you can tell by the chest feathers. Copper is female patchy black is rooster. Before they feahter in you can usually tell by the eyeliner. Dark black is girls the reddish brown is boys.

Hm, I thought Wellsummers had yellow legs? Ok, I am sometimes wrong.

This is young welsummers.

These last two we're our easter egger chicks

Yeah its not a welsummer, they have very yellow legs.

Definitely have yellow legs but if purchased from a feed store or hatchery stock they won't always meet standards. Could be an easter egger but if so should have green legs and usually a beard adleast. It doesn't really carry many Easter egger features.. Easter eggers are pretty much mutts but are still ameracauna mixes. Usually those traits show somewhere... I could be wrong though..

We have a Dutch bantam that has slate legs too.

I think you're right -- Dutch bantam, black breasted red coloring. Not every chipmunk with dark legs is an Easter Egger.

It's been awhile since we hatched so may have to double check on the easter egger thread but slate legs I think are signs of pure ameracauna and greenish legs are easter egger.. I know the green is accurate just can't remember for sure about the slate..

There's a lot more to the standard than leg color but that is one thing that's often different between an Ameraucana and an Easter Egger.
