My bought my first two batches of chicks from a woman who has many mixed chickens. At first, I thought this was a BSL, now I'm wondering if it's an EE. And I'm not sure if it's a boy or girl.

I'm not sure if this EE is a boy or girl, either.

Both chicks are 12 weeks old.
 
Thanks, ve, I figured that was about right. I have a couple of others the same age that I'm not sure about.

This is Gracie. I think she's a BSL, but I'm curious about the green in her feathers which is gorgeous when the sunlight hits it. Could she be an EE as well?

This little roo is one of my favorites. He's much too dark for a BR, but the markings look like one. Also he's got a blue/green tint in several feathers on his back. What is he?

That BR looks just like my BR pullets...his/her coloring is too dark for a roo...but does he crow? How old? Are yousure it's a boy? What does the tail look like? My girls also have occasional blue/green dark feathers.
 
Looks like the boy and girl are Black Sex Link.The blue and green sheen is normal for black birds
