What breed are these 4??

[Crazy for Chickens!]

You need to wait until they are six weeks old. The breeds should be more obvious, as will the gender. You can't tell the gender by feathers at that age. It's likely you have mostly cockerels. That's how it seems to go for me, anyway.

There are only a few breeds that you can feather sex.

To young so say for certain, but they are likely NOT Easter Eggers due to leg color, lack of muffs, and combs. Easter Eggers typically have green legs, muffs/beard, and are pea combs. Where as your chicks have yellow legs, non bearded/muffed, and single combs.

Not true at all. I have an EE he. That has yellow legs, a single comb, and no muff or beard. I also have olive eggers that look like her.

Which is why I said "likely not" and "typically have". Implying that in general Easter Eggers are bearded/muffed, green legged, and pea combed. But there are always exceptions in Easter Eggers especially as there are yet no standards.

"When you hear hoofbeats, think horses....not zebras"....the most likely id is not EE, which is all that was said

Oh I know what you were saying, just wanted her to know too that EE is not out of the question is all.

No one said it was out of the question. I clearly stated that they're not likely Easter Eggers while implying at the same time it is slightly possible they are Easter Eggers.

Yikes, alright then

Even if they'd had muffs there's no way they could be Ameraucanas because feed stores and Ideal Poultry don't sell real Ameraucanas, the only APA Ameraucana color that has chipmunk chicks is silver and that color is hard to find. It's even hard to find that color from breeders.

Feed stores and the majority of hatcheries practice fraud, either knowingly or unknowingly, by advertising EEs as Ameraucanas.

That said, you have cute chicks!

I'll still hold out hope for EE, but I'm leaning more towards thinking I have old English game chicks especially with the chipmunks. Like BB red or spangled, though it's also possible that they're welsumer.
