So, now that I know that my two Olive Eggers are roos, I am so disappointed. Maybe knowing more about these three will make me feel better.
These three were all in a bit marked Well summer, but they don't all look alike. Could you tell me what is what here? Are any of them even what they were marked? If we can't get Olive eggs, maybe we can have dark brown.
One is darker, one medium and one, almost completely light with different markings.

I believe the third pic (the one with the most person's arm showing) is the only welsummer. You may notice that her feathers are softer, almost downy. I'm not sure about the darkest chicken, the orange one may be a NH red or red sex link, cinammon queen or similar. An orange brown egg laying machine :) I'm sorry about your OEs :(
 
The first bird is a Welsummer cockerel. The last is a Welsummer pullet. The second bird I'm not sure of at all. The comb is cut off in the photo and the way the bird is being held makes it difficult to determine breed or gender. I'd guess possibly a New Hampshire Red.

You say you purchased them as chicks? The first and third chick should have had cute little chipmunk stripes. Did the second chick? I'd guess not. If you want more accurate opinions I'd recommend taking photos of the birds where they are comfortable and standing on their own.
