I ordered chicks from Hoover's this year, first time ever. I ordered Americanas, Midnight Majesty Marans, Prairie Bluebell Eggers, Sapphire Olive Eggers, Speckled Sussex, and Welsummers (3 of each)

As chicks they are looked a lot alike, except of course the marans. Otherwise they all kind of looked a like. I had bad luck and lost 9 of the 18.

I added to my chicks with some I purchased from Rural King - more Marans, Olive Eggers, and speckled Sussex.

I have 2 girls that I'm not sure what they are...I'm thinking the darker one is a welsummer and the lighter , hawk-looking girl is an Americana? I'm probably way off base here.

Any input would be appreciated

That's one of your easter eggers. The ones you ordered as a 'americana'. Note the spelling. Hoover's sells them as Americana instead of Ameraucana, but their really easter eggers.

Yes I was aware they were Easter Eggers and not "Ameraucanas". I got them for my back yard flock, nothing crazy. I just wanted a different colored eggs :)

Do you think they are both EE's?
 
I think the bottom one is actually a Welsummer. It has those barred feathers that I think are indicative of that type. The other one, I have no guesses. It could be an easter egger or olive egger. I don't see anything in this photo that gives any clues. Sorry! Perhaps someone with a better eye will know.
