Silver duckwing pullets????

I'm pretty sure I have two silver duckwing pullets but am still new to OEGBs and was wanting some confirmation. Here is chick 1:

Chick 2:

My mom picked out 3 silver duckwing chicks last fall and sent them to my house, especially loving the one with the eyeliner. That one turned out to be female, and the lighter ones were male. So I'd say that you do have 2 females based on the coloration and eyeliner.

I'm no expert but they do look much redder than mine were, so maybe they are gold duckwing. I've attached pics of mine for comparison. The pics are at I think a week old and then her at about 4 months.

Thanks so much for the quick response! After more research, I do believe I have twp bb red pullets. A little disappointed as I have 1 silver duckwing hen already and 1 roo and was hoping to expand my flock. These two are lovely though and very sweet! Thanks for the help!!! And the pics.

Yep BBR hens. Some people breed BBR and Silver Duckwing together, they are very alike except gold instead of silver for BBR. If I remember right a Silver Duckwing Roo over BBR hens will give Silver hens and BBR roos
