I have no idea what color to call these chicks. (Ignore the silkie hen in the first picture; she is adoptive mom of that brood.) Also, any guesses on gender would be appreciated! In the first picture, with the younger chicks, the yellow chick has a grayish tinge that you can't really see in the picture.
Thanks!

 
There is no name for the colors of those birds. Easter eggers are known for being classic "easter egger color", that is, colors that defy definition.
 
Thanks! I was totally confused by their coloration. What about the sex? Any ideas? I see on some threads that people say their color is linked to their gender, but I can't find any rules on this out there. The two older chicks are supposed to be (sold as) pullets, but the brighter-colored one acts like a roo...
Here is another picture of him/her:
 
How old are they? The big EEs appear to be pullets just going off comb size/color. The soft brownish colored one is definitely a girl. In the last picture, the color looks a little more boyish but the comb is tiny, I'm not 100% sure its a girl.
