Hi Lindsey, welcome to BYC. Welsummers and easter eggers chicks often look alike. They look different in a few weeks. The easter eggers usually have puffy little cheeks.

This was so helpful!! Thank you! Some of them absolutely have fluffy cheeks, one I’m not sure but I may be getting a weird angle on her face.
