HELP, what kinda breed is my sweet bird

so i COULD be right, hypothetically
Yes, you are right that they COULD be Easter Eggers or Olive Eggers.

Many Easter Eggers have green legs, many have pea combs, many have muff/beard on the face. (Those traits come from Ameraucana ancestors.) The Easter Eggers and Olive Eggers that do not have those traits often have a crest on the head (from Cream Legbar ancestors.) Considering that OP's chicks do not have any of those traits, I think it more likely they are some other breed. Not certain, but more likely.

Hi purchased these two sweet, very large birds (will be 3 weeks on Saturday) and the guy that sold me then told me they are Maran chicken pullets. I’m pretty sure he is very wrong. Or maybe i am. Can some please help me haha

Below is one of them, it’s the darker brown babe in the middle of the two Isa browns (hopefully those are pullets, too) 🤞🏻
The smaller chicks to the left of the picture (toward the person) look like ISA Brown pullets to me.

The two larger chicks on the right side of the picture, who both have stripes on their heads, are not ISA Browns and do not look like Marans either. They might be the same kind as each other, or they might be two different kinds.

I'm not quite sure what they are. Maybe Welsummer? Striped chicks, single combs, yellow feet, no crest or leg feathers or muff/beard. I think they're too big and the wrong shape to be Brown Leghorns, comb is wrong for Dark Cornish, leg color is wrong for Speckled Sussex. Or they might be Easter Eggers of some sort, as Ceciliasflock suggested.

And of course any kind of mix can be hard to identify.

For gender, I don't see any signs (yet) of them being male. But that just means they could be young males or they could be females, which isn't very useful :lol:
A few more weeks should make the gender much more clear.
 
Here’s a Welsummer for reference even though the one in the pic is younger.
