What breed are these?

Hi! These were some chickens we got as chicks 5 years ago both we had to get rid of because they were roosters. What breed are they? We loved them and i would love more like them. Thanks in advance!

They look like Easter Eggers to me. Pretty birds.

Really? Can Easter Eggers be regular size birds? We have one from this batch still that is 5 but she is way tinier!

EE's have such a diversity of breeds in them. So anything can happen. mine mostly are about 4 lbs. have a couple 5 lbs. Some may breed to banty's which could make yours smaller birds. I have a couple pullets now that may be larger girls as their sire is a Black copper Marans. 11 weeks old and over 3 lbs now.

Easter Eggers. They appear to be a sex linked cross. I’m guessing Blue Ameraucana x Barred Plymouth Rock.

Agree, those are some sort of Easter Eggers. EE, being hybrids or crosses for a specific egg shell color, can look like anything and be any size. My EE is a nice light brown color and is the same size as my wyandotte.
