These are from the pullet bin at a feedstore. Most likely not rare or unusual breeds - people usually want good, reliable layers. That's why there are so many RIRs and BRs. I doubt Ancona or Partridge Rock because of that. Unless the feedstore ordered "pullet surprise" and got something unusual in the hatchery assortment. Plus EE's usually have wavy bordered spots on their heads - one way to tell them apart from welsummers and speckled sussexes. The little muff confirms it.
Please post later pics so we can see who 'won' the chick pick-off.
They're cute no matter what breed they are.
