Two new chicks!

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

I recently hatched out these two chicks from mixed eggs. The light chick hatched from a blueish green egg and the dark chick from a cream colored egg. Any guesses as to what breed? I think the darker one has muffs.

I think they are both Easter eggers. The darker one came from a cream egg, but Easter eggers lay many different colors. Or perhaps just the father was an Easter egger. The chick has the little beard and looks to have a pea comb. The other came from a blue egg so its mother was probably an Ameraucana, Easter egger or Legbar. Any of those breeds mixed with something else would fall under the broad category of Easter egger.
