What breeds?

[Littledid]

Hi, new to this site so I hope I'm doing this right.
I received several chicks from a hatchery last fall and I have two hens that I have no idea what breed they are. I'm pretty sure the first one is laying olive colored eggs, but I'm not 100% sure. I have no clue what she could be!
For the second one, I thought maybe brown leghorn... any ideas?

Yes, 2nd one looks like brown leghorn.

From the color of her legs I believe you are right.

She would be an Olive Egger. That in turn means she has Ameraucana or Aracauna in her lineage. The other part of her lineage is one of the the ones that lays brown eggs. But, I am not sure which particular one.

I may be wrong but, I believe it would be just as accurate to call her an Easter Egger.

No, OEs are different from EEs.

EEs are mixed breeds with Ameraucanas that can lay green, blue, pink, white, or brown eggs.

OEs are crosses, usually first generation, usually using Ameraucana or Cream Legbar, for the blue egg layer, and crossed with a dark brown egg layer, usually Marans or Welsummers. This cross of the two egg colors creates olive eggs.

First one is your possible Olive Egger. Second is a Brown Leghorn.
