I am extremely new to chickens. My flock consists of 6 birds which are supposed to be all hens.
Purchased from RK.
I have my doubts based on their behavior. Which I probably shouldn't do.

I've had them since they were three days old and handled them all daily.

They are now 10-1/2 weeks.

# 5 ????
#4 is supposed to be silver-laced Wyandotte.
#1 is supposed to be an EE
The two yellow/tans are buff orps. ( I think)

See! I am so new to these sweet babies.
Sorry for the wrong pics/numbers.
Another chicken mom told me that #2 was an EE.

Definitely a lovely Speckled Sussex not an Easter egger.

Your chick #5 is a beautiful likely colored layer. I have a couple that are like her but a bit darker. Mine are starlight green layers and indeed lay pretty green eggs.
