Need help identifying these little chicks please

[mamaschnecke]

These chicks were adopted from my son's school after they did a unit on chickens. The teacher had no idea what kind of chickens they were. Being new at this, I have no idea. I am not sure if you have to wait until they are older to tell what breed they are or not. Any help is welcomed. Also, if you see anything that is not "chicken friendly" in my pictures PLEASE feel free to tell me. We don't want to find out the hard way.
So here it goes. Two of the chicks pretty much look the same. The one in the front and the one in the back. Their wing feathers are coming in and the are black and white stripes. All of the chicks hatched between Sunday night (5/6) and Tuesday afternoon (5/8). The third one (the one in the middle) looks a little different to us. It's wing feathers appear to be solid black. I am having trouble getting my pictures to load here, but I have several on my profile in my default album.

Thanks for the info...Amanda

They look like EE's because of the comb and I think I see a beard starting to appear on them.

Here are some more recent pictures of the chicks. It has been fun watching to see how they would change each day.

Here is the odd chick out at two weeks old. Though you can't see it in this picture this little chick has white "ear spots".




The spots are more clear in this picture.


We love our chicks, but would really love to know what kind they are too. It's neat watching them change each day. I know that earlier someone said they thought they might be EE's. Just wondering if that was still the case. We are new to chickens and didn't know if the spots on the ears were traits of a breed or not. Also, our son keeps asking what kind of chickens he has. lol This mama doesn't have an answer just yet. Hoping that the older they get the better we will be able to tell.

Any help would be great!

Here are some more recent pictures. Still hoping to get an idea of hen/roo and maybe what breed. I keep telling my son they are mutt chickens! lol He says, "Mama, stop joking me. What are they really?" To which I respond "Chickens".

I think you might be right about the mutt chickens...how old are they now?

 

[mamaschnecke]

They are only 5 weeks old.
