They are about 10 weeks old, both hatched from brown eggs on the same day - and came from a farm with heritage breed laying hens, and a few roosters. I am pretty sure both are pullets and I'm guessing that one is partly coumbian rock and legholrn maybe? She's half the size (and more skittish than her sister). The second one is super fluffy, with off white feathers that have a rusty-colored tinge to then, and she has grey-green legs and a dark comb - and it the friendlier of the two. Okay, here are the pictures:
Here is the lighter, whiter and more flighty girl, with the red comb and specked tail

and here the soft fluffy, green-legged pullet - but she hatched from a brown egg:

I would definitely say the first has some colombian something in her and the second surely must have an Easter Egger or Ameraucana daddy. Sorry...I can't be more specific/helpful.
 
Thank you! I wish that the EE would lay colored eggs instead of the brown she hatched from - do you think there is a chance?
