These are supposed to be the same breed and have the same markings, though different colors. They have short, blunt heads, and they RUN everywhere.

Can anyone identify?
Same exact markings but different colors. Short blunt heads, and they run everywhere. Skittish, but not aggressive. Any help would be appreciated!

Easter Eggers.

Easter Eggers.. is my guess. Not actually a breed and have no standard of perfection.. allowing them to look different from one another.

What were they sold as?

From behind, they look like Easter Eggers. All Easter Eggers are mixes so you'll get a variety of colors and looks. You didn't really get a photo of their faces but I'm guessing they look almost eagle ish? Maybe a beard or puffy cheeks?

Easter Eggers. You'll get pastel blue or greenish eggs!

I ordered 8 birds, 4 breeds. 5 arrived dead, so they resent the entire order, leaving me with 11 birds (yeah chicken math!), so I'm not sure who is what, although I think with these identified I can figure out the rest, which are a mix of Wyndottes and red as well as black Stars.

Not necessarily. Some EEs lay brown eggs.

Very small percentage but since the vast majority do lay colored eggs i was just making an educated assumption. You’re right though!

True. One out of my ten laying EEs laid brown eggs.
