I think I may have mixed up the breed of two of my chicks - can someone confirm?

[Appalachickens]

I got my last set of chicks almost 10 weeks ago from Murray McMurray. Unlike choosing them from labeled bins, you just get the box of chicks and a packing list. I looked on their site and tried match their photos of the chicks with mine. The buff orpington, red star, barred rock and cuckoo maran (which sadly didn't make it) were easy enough. But I though the one on the far left was the ameraucana and the one on the far right was the speckled sussex.

Now I think that's not accurate. So... Am I correct that Sophonisba, below, is actually the Sussex?

And Hildegard, below, the Ameraucana?

Sophonisba is a Speckled Sussex.
Hildegard isn't exactly an Ameraucana but have no doubt that's what she was sold as.

Yes, that’s correct. Beautiful birds!

She has the wrong color legs, right? Any idea what she is?

I see that now, she looks to be an EE, but still a pretty girl.

Thank you!

Oh that's funny, because my other EE looks completely different. I know they are hybrids and so that isn't unusual. Ethel, the EE:

Correct, Ameraucana have slate colored legs.

Correct, Ameraucana have slate colored legs.

I only have one with that color legs, and it's a black sex-link. I can live with having two EE's though, especially since they look so different.

EEs can be a mix of so many different blue egg laying breeds they can all look very different. Many hatcheries sell them as Americana which is confusing. This is my Splash Ameraucana.
