What type of chicks are these? Easter eggers?

[chickybobby]

Got these chicks they are supposed to be around 5 days old and I'm definitely seeing "chipmunk" stripes(?) so I think they would be easter eggers but pro help would help... .

There are lots of chicks that have the "chipmunk" stripes. Do they have muffs? I don't see any in the picture. I cant tell right now what they are maybe someone more experienced can help you. When they get more feathered out it will be a lot easier to tell. Brown leghorn is my guess

They have brown spots on the sides of their heads flush to their eyes.. Thanks for the guess

I have what the feed store was calling Ameraucanas . . .and they're EEs that started out like this. Unfortunate circumstances have dropped my three to one. I'm hoping she's really a pullet. Her tail is very big, but it's in the shape of my other EE hen's so far!

They look like baby old english, are they bantams?
If not, then probably brown leghorns or easter eggers. Sometimes easter eggers dont have big muffs if from a commercial hatchery.
From the looks of the wing feathers, it looks like its a pair, the black and white feathers are roo. Whatever they are, if its a pair, they would likely be silver duckwing colored.

Got them from a feed store they didn't know the breed but I assumed they might be EE's, they look like brown leghorns also though. Distinctive features might be that they have brown/gray feathers and the outer edge is sort of white or lighter beige. Also one who is acting more "proudly" and seems to be leader has the starting of tail feather growth while it seems the other more skittish one does not as much. Does this say anything about the gender or maybe a certain breed has later tail feathers. Btw, I know they are just starting to feather so it is still possible for anything. Thank you

I can only clearly see the legs on one chick in the second picture and they look to be really light. EE's usually (but by no means "always") have slate/green legs, and two out of my 5 EE's were smooth faced. So as Poultry Queen said, not all EE's have muffs. I'm stumped, but then I'm new at this chicken world too. I usually only horn in on these questions so that I can learn from the real experts after I've made a dummy out of myself trying to solve the mystery..

Most breeds that are brownish when mature start as chipmunk looking chicks, so you'll really just have to wait a bit to be sure. By 8 weeks you should have a good idea who is what.

Thanks this helps.. Btw does any one know how to train you dog to be at ease with your chicks.. Most of the posts I looked at describe how to train dogs when the chickens are older. My dog doesn't attack but rather gets tense and yips...
