PLEASE Tell me these are americauna!!

I think you definitely have a Buff Orpington, but I am 99% sure you don't have easter eggers. :( I think the eyeliner one looks like a Welsummer too. Easter eggers (hatchery ameraucanas) *always* have green/grey legs from the time they hatch.

Not always. I've got 13 specially ordered and only some have the gdeen legs. :)
 
An EE can easily not have muffs/beard, green legs, or a peacomb. The peacomb is genetically linked with laying blue eggs and if there isn't a peacomb, there is still the chance of laying green eggs. And EE is any bird that has the blue egg laying gene in it and can lay green blue or pink legs. They aren't a "recognized breed" so there are no official guidelines on how they can look. They can come in any color, usually have green legs(some may darken to green with age), usually have a peacomb although I have seen them with single combs, can just as easily have no muffs or beard as having them. Out of the 3 new EEs I bought this year, only one has muffs and a beard. But as long as they were crossed with a blue/green laying bird (Ameracauna, Aracauna, ect) they can technically be defined as EEs.
As far as your birds, I would say the chipmunk colore ones could be EEs. I've had 2 EEs that started out looking like a leghorn chick and one ended up being solid white, the other was wheaten colored. All the rest of my EEs were chipmunk colored and had lighter looking legs as chicks. Once they got older, they turned a nice shade of green.

Added two of my EE chicks. The top one had really dark chipmunk patterning and the other had noticeable chipmunk patterning.
