Where did you get them and are they suppose to be standard/large fowl or a bantam breed?

Could be Easter Eggers. Do they have combs coming in? If so could you take a pic so we can see if they have pea combs?

Pea combs? Is that a color/ size.? I have some black giants that have no combs at all yet at 5 weeks. Should I worry?

Yep peacombs, i agree their likely americana or Easter Eggers.

Peacombs are just very small combs.

Americana is purely a made up name, there is no such thing. Hatcheries call their Easter Eggers "Americanas" so they can mislead your into thinking you are dishing out money for a purebred breed.

If you have a chicken that lays blue/green eggs, you either have Easter eggers, Ameraucanas, Araucanas or Cream legbars.

The OP more than likely has Easter eggers. And there is not a thing wrong with that. I love my EE.

Edited to add there are also some other Chilean breeds that lay colored eggs, but it will be a long time before hatcheries will offer those.

The chicks have muffs, not tufts.
