So I got these babies from a feed store as they were really sweet. They're not so sweet anymore, and I'm having a hard time deciding if boys or girls because no one could tell me their breed. So if you got some guesses that would be great!!!
Here's a bunch of photos!

This one seems to have a slightly different comb then the others, also has some lines on back. This is when I brought them home about a month ago.

Little over a week old I believe? This is the one with a slightly different comb. I named it Owl, as it likes sitting on my hand and looking around.

One of the other gray ones, It nicely jumped up on the brooder roost bar for me. This was taken today and I believe that they are about a month old now

This is everyone in the corner scared of the evil camera. Sorry for dirty waterer and brooder, tomorrow is severe cleaning day. They are messy!!! This is the best i could get of everyone, I'm not so worried about gender. Just want to know what breed or breeds the dark gray ones are. The others I know are EEs. But Dark gray I'm just kinda stumped on which they might be?
 
The color is blue, the breed... Hmm maybe australorp? Others are a little smarter than me, able to tell specific breed via leg colors and such haha, but australorps, plymouth rocks, andalusian, orpingtons, and the such are fairly common feedstore breeds that come in blue, clean legged with single combs : D doesn't look like a cockerel yet so fingers crossed!

haha! yeah, i'm pretty bad at some of these too. Hmmm.... I had forgotten australorps came in the blue color. I'll look those up and the others! I do have some andalusians, but these don't look quite like them. But i'll still compare! Thank you.
 
Yes. Also in the photos it looks like it may be muffed. Which I would then confidently say EE.
They are at that awkward stage of all feathered but the heads. LOL!!! So i'm not sure, the white and red in the corner had muffs for days.... they were soooo fluffy! but These gray ones, i start thinking one thing and the next day i see something that says something different. Each one has a slightly different shape for comb too, they all look like single combs but some are bumped, some arched, some normal angle. I'm not going to breed them at all, just have them for eggs. But curiosity was killing me on these fluffy things :)
 
So this morning I went out and I was able to pick up one of the grays, yes, actually 3 of them have the greenish tint to the bottom of the legs. But two are just the slate coloring on the legs. So, looks like some EEs, and maybe two that didn't get the coloring on legs or maybe i got some australorps in there as well? we shall see!!
