Take a guess.....

The white one in the middle of the first picture is an EE. Pretty green legs and a cute little muff going on there.

So there's one right. The one in the back of the second picture has that little stripe on its head which reminds me of Production Reds (hatcheries call them RIR, and that's what the feed stores call 'em too). So that's probably the one sold to you as RIR. The other 2 would be the Golden Sexlinks then, and if that's the case, then it looks like you have 1 male and 1 female. Sex linked crosses are bred so you can tell the gender by their color. In Golden and Red Sexlinks, pullets are red and cockerels are white. (If you're curious about the Black Sexlink, males are barred and females are black with gold leakage. https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=261208) Sexlinks don't breed true, by the way.
 
Ok, here's what she told me.... The two white/yellow chicks are GSL's, the RIR is the one you picked out with the little stripe and the other tan colored one with the square-ish shape to its wing (on the left in the first pic) is what she said was an Ameraucana(EE). Either she didn't know what was what, was confused, or .....

They were mixed in two large water tubs. The RIR's all in one and the GSL's and EE's in the other. Maybe I picked up an EE thinking it was a GSL? Maybe I have two EE's, one RIR, and one GSL.

I don't really care as long as they teach me how to raise them well and lay some eggs. It's fun to guess though.
