Same breed but different color?

[JordannL]

Okay, so I purchased 3 chicks a few months ago. They were all supposed to be the same but they're not looking that way. One has the little tuft. I've posted her on another thread and I've been told she's an OE. But the other 2 are the same color as her, have no tuft, have beards, but they're different colors from one another. One is darker than the other. I got them at the same time, so theyre the same age. 2.5 months old. Do you know what they are? I've circled all 3. The 2 that are most similar, I've circled in blue. The tufted one is red.

They appear to be Easter Eggers.

They are Easter Eggers. Easter Eggers come in every color, pattern, everything, so you get lots of unique looking birds.

Okay, thank you! I think they sold them to me as Americanas.

Americana is a fancy name hatcheries use for Easter Egger.

Okay, I figured they would be the same type, I just didn't know based on the shades. Thank you!

The ones circled in blue are EEs... can't really tell with the crested one, but based on its shoulder coloring could be a little cockerel.

Two pullets for sure though!

A full body pic of the crested bird would be super helpful.

That makes sense then

Lots of EEs have similar patterns, but there's no specific coloring. They're loveable mutts the should lay green/blue eggs- pretty low barrier to being an EE!

These ones are skittish! Lol thats why their pictures are so blurry. They don't want me anywhere near them.
