Help: what breed might it be?

[Maggiee]

I bought a box of easter egger chicks at a sale not long ago. But there's one that doesn't quite look like an EE to me. What breed might the little grey thing on the left be, do you think?

Most EE that I've met have slate colored legs. Pretty birds!

Yes, good observation on the legs. I'm pretty new to chickens so I didn't even notice that!
Any ideas on what breed the smaller grey hen-looking one on the left might be?

I've no clue on breed type here, but they are a cute bunch! Mary

Lavender Orpington?? Just throwing that out there as they seem to be this color. I agree, cute bunch! I have 3 EE and their legs are a green/slate color and they looked like chipmunk when they were babies (6 weeks old now).

They all look like mixes, probably EE crosses. The one on the left looks to be blue, and I can see blue tints in the one on the right too.

Sadly, the little grey girl was killed tragically by a piece of falling plywood. So I will never find out what she would grow to be.
The other four are growing nicely and I'll be posting some sexing photos soon.
