Possibility of an egger, but can't be certain. It is hard to determine breed with solid/mostly solid colored chicks that young. Where they be sold as Starlights?

They could be, but I think in this case you;re gonna have to wait it out to know what they are for sure.

It's an Easter Egger from Hoover Hatchery that TSC got their chicks from this year. According to Hoover's website they are "European" Easter Eggers ...

• HOOVER HATCHERY: Our Easter Eggers are a combination of the traditional American Easter Eggers, which typically has a pea comb, beard and green legs, along with the European version of Easter Eggers, which are called Grünleger, which typically have yellow legs, a single comb, and commonly a tuft on its head. The Grünleger is a hybrid cross between a commercial type Legbar, and brown egg-laying hens, therefore unlike the American Easter Egger, they will not breed true, with only a portion of the offspring laying colored eggs. Overall, the Easter Eggers typically lay colored eggs, but up to 15% of the time you will have one that lays brown or cream eggs.
• Purpose: Egg Layer Production: 240 Medium Colored Eggs/Year Temperament: Docile, Active Mature Weight: 4-6 lbs. Hardiness: Cold Hardy, Not Heat Hardy Broodiness: Occasionally Comb Type: Single or Pea Comb

A friend of mine purchased 2 this past Spring, not knowing Hoover's version of EE ... Mine haven't started laying yet but I never cared for the Legbar appearance and I've got one with the "tuff" while the other doesn't ... She purchased early April these pic were taken in June.
