La’trexa is a lavender Orpington. Comb slightly pink but no wattle.

Debra was sold as an olive egger, but the store really wasn’t sure because they were mixed together in a bin marked ”rare or exotic breeds”. Her feet are already feathering out. Comb is getting pinker but no wattle. Idea of breed?

Sophia is a Sapphire Gem. She has 3 sisters that look exactly like her, I read this breed of chicks are supposed to be self-sexing... something about a spot on their head.

They’re all between 4 and 6 weeks.

I'm pretty sure that olive eggers don't have feathered feet, but not certain. Otherwise I can't help much, sorry
 
My olive eggers are a mix of amerucana for the blue egg gene and black copper Marans to brown the eggs out to an olive. The feathered feet often come from the maran side of things. :)
 
How old are they? That will help :)
They were already getting feathers when I bought them 4 weeks ago, Debra was the biggest/most feathered. I would guess 5 weeks but not certain.
