What rare breeds are these four chicks?

[10 point]

I think they might all be EE's. the first two like identical to my two EE's.

Thanks for the tip!

So not all EEs have muffs? I guess some are sleeker than others?

I was thinking EE's.. The one is DEF not a welsummer!

My BLRW from a breeder don't look anything like that chick and they have yellow legs, so I'd say that it must be something else! I know EEs can have the green legs...not sure if anything else does - ?? -

Yeah - I was checking out the forum on greed-legged birds. I don't think it is standard for any bird except maybe one that I read about - which isn't in the list I first posted. I think I may have all easter eggers - unless the dark one looks recognizable.

Can legs change color - do they get lighter or darker at all as the chick grows?

Yea, I am thinking the three with green feet are Easter Eggers as well. I got an Easter Egger from Mcmurray and she doesn't have a beard and she is still and Easter Egger with green feet.

I just love easter eggers though because of the possibility of colored eggs they can lay. My egg laying flock I think consists of all easter eggers except for 3 and I have 25 in my egg layer flock

I only think the third one is an easter egger cuz in the pic thats the only one that looks like green legs.

the first one I am unsure of but the last 3 must be EEs, those neon green legs give it away for sure!! and sometimes the muffs take a bit to come in. remember, the coloring and characteristics of an EE depends on the parent stock. I would say these will feather out nicely too.

They are all EE's, I have 3 that look identical to yours. Enjoy!
