The first one is an Easter Egger. The second one you marked as an Easter Egger might be a Buff Orp. If you bought them from the pullet bin, you have a 90% chance they are pullets. If you got them straight run, you have a 90% chance they are cockerels.
The bantams look like Cochins but cannot be sexed at hatch. You're going to have to wait to find out what you've got.

Okay! Thank you so much for your help
 
Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies! I always check in the "What's New" section as well at the top of this page. This way I can read how I may have a similar question or help give some advice.

I’m starting a flock @19 years old, I still live at my parents house (yes I know it’s in the works) my mother raised chicks and had chickens of her own 10 years ago.

I had been wanting to raise chicks again for a long time! I figured with all the egg crisis stuff going on, my family goes through so many eggs a day, why not raise our own again! Although the way I actually got my chicks was much more spur of the moment than a planned decision.

My mom and I went to tractor supply, and there they were. We couldn’t resist so we got 5 little chicks, supposedly 2 Easter eggers (unsexed), and three bantams, mixed breeds (also unsexed). I’ve already posted photos in another thread but I will definitely post some again.

I had one sweet chick who had splayed legs and wasn’t doing well the day we got her, she passed away in the night on the second day after seemingly doing better. That broke my heart. Then I had only 4 chicks, definitely not enough for a flock!

So I searched everywhere for chicks, all sold out, until I came upon a small farm in my town in California and they had hundreds of sexed pullet chicks! Also the breeds I wanted! So I was thrilled, made the trip and got 5 more chicks! Which I will show here soon! So that is how my journey has started this far and I’ll continue to update as we go!
