Kinda tan/white not yellowThat one is most likely a Black Australorrp, but could also be a Black Jersey Giant. Are the bottom of the feet white or yellow?

Thank youPic #1. Buff Orpington pullet
Pic #2. Buff Orpington pullet
Pic #3. Easter Egger pullet
Pic #4. Easter Egger pullet
Pic #5. (top to bottom, left to right) Dominique pullet, Speckled Sussex pullet, Buff Orpington pullet, Australorp pullet, Partridge Rock pullet, possible Cream Legbar? cockerel.
Pic #6. Black Australorp pullet
Pic #7. Likely Cream Legbar (forground) pullet, and Partridge Rock pullet (background)
Pic #8. All the same breeds and genders, although I believe I'm spotting a Production Red pullet in the bunch.
Pic #9. Easter Egger pullet
Pic #10. Same again
Everything after this will seem rather redundant.Pretty girls!

Thank you
Ok I have 9, 1 cockerel and 8 pullets, I already knew the Dominique,2 cc legbars, 1 buff orpington, 1 Rhode island red. So the others are speckled Sussex, partridge rock, austrolorp, and Easter egger. So a Easter egger is just a mix? It seems strange cause i got it from a tractor supply store and I know they didnt call it a Easter egger. I've been getting a egg a day from the Dominique. I justed started getting some eggs from some others 1 brown and 1 green plus the 1 from dominique and today I got 3 brown total no green yet. I think it's the rir, australorp laying the new brown and Easter egger? Laying the green? crested cream legbar is too young
By definition, Easter Eggers are any mix of breeds that produce colored eggs.Thank you

By definition, Easter Eggers are any mix of breeds that produce colored eggs.However, though I'm by no means informed as to what goes into hatchery EEs, it almost seems as though there's a loose "standard." Most sport beard and muffs (though some don't, like your pretty girl), pea combs, and green legs. You simply aren't going to receive EEs that are a hodgepodge of wacky breeds. I wouldn't necessarily label them "mixes of whatever."
They were probably labeled something along the lines of Americana, or Ameraucana, which is deceptive.
The brown eggs could've come from your Australorp, Buff Orpington, Dominique, Sussex, Partridge Rock, or Production Red, provided they're old enough. A good way to determine who's laying is to feel for the placement of their pelvic bones. If you can fit two or more fingers between them, you have your layer, or at the very least, a soon-to-be layer. Any less space than that would rule out the particular pullet. Your green egg is probably coming from the EE, since the Cream Legbar's too young.

In a way, yes.I notice you are saying production red so I dont have a Rhode island red? That's what it was labeled is that another hatchery thing?
Thank you for all the help
