What are these babies mixed with?

I got some Easter eggers at a farm store. I know they are a mix but no puffy cheeks and I’m curious what yall think they are. I’m new to chickens so don’t know a ton of breeds.

They're traditional Easter eggers. They've been pretty much the same for decades. Who knows what originally went into the mix other than South American breeds with the blue/green egg genes.

It's not that uncommon for them to be beardless. They do have the usual pea combs.

Easter eggers are mixes of mixes, there's no telling what breeds went in.

Ah ok. Thank you . So will they lay blue or green? Or a chance of like white or brown?

There is still a chance of brown egg but typically it would be a light blue/green. How many do you have?

I have three of them. I had five. One was a roo and one just passed. It was super hard bc I got them as pets. Did everything I could do and the guess is it was birth defect.
