two mystery chicks

[ChickenMamaC]

I've figured out most of our two week old chicks (I think!) but we have one who is dark brown with silvery muffs and one who is very light yellow with no markings and greyish pink legs.

The only photos I have are when they were only a day or two old, but I'll add them just in case. Any thoughts?

Welcome to BYC. The brown one looks like an Easter Egger and the yellow one is probably a White Leghorn. Does the brown one have green legs?

No, I'd call them grey/brown.

No, I'd call them grey/brown.

I’m still gonna go with my first inclination, an Easter Egger. The leg color may change a bit and darken up. Those little puffy chipmunk cheeks are usually a classic sign of a little EE and they are precious.

Don’t worry, there will be more educated chicken keepers chiming in very soon and you will have an accurate answer before long. I hope you enjoy your little fluffies. This is the precious stage.

Easter Egger

We need to see a leg pic, please.

First chick looks to be an Easter Egger. The white baby could be so many breeds, depending on comb type, leg color, ect.. We might have to wait little on that one.

Here’s a little better and more age-accurate (today— 3 weeks) picture of my (maybe) Easter Egger?

What a cutie! Yeppers, that's an EE, alright.

Yes, I believe she’s a little EE.

I just read that EEs only wind up about 4-5 pounds?? Right she's our biggest pullet! Do you think that might indicate she's something other than an Easter Egger?

Also, we are thinking our little yellow gal might be a White Plymouth Rock.
