They are a mystery to me

I recently decoded to start a flock of 9 chickens. Before biting I did some quick research on breeds to choose from foe my mixed flock. I bought my chicks from TSC. They are approximately 3 weeks old. I believe 2 of the breeds were mislabeled after doing more research. I asked for Ameracauna and Wyandotte, but believe I received Easter egger and either a Welsummer or Legbar (none of the bin labels had these even listed as options)
Can any one help with breed determination for these 2 birds?

Hi there, Probably Easter Eggers. But the first chicks are a little blurry. if you want a specific breed, it's best to order them from a hatchery or learn to identify them as chicks. Tsc gets their chicks from hoovers, and hoovers is well known for their paperwork issues.
Easter Eggers are often sold as Americaunas (with an l) unless you paid $20 per chick, they are they're easter eggers. Real Ameraucanas (with a U) are pricey.

Out local tsc stores keep claiming to have Ameraucanas. (No I in the spelling) The price of course says EE. Not sure if it is the hatchery making the "error" as I have seen the same type sign in multiple stores.
I'm not sure where the error originates. Be interesting to find out, though.
 
I'm not overly concerned about the specific breeds. More curious than anything. Thanks for the welcome and responses
