Agreed with CD. Looks like a boy & girl. The tall one's head looks bigger, with darker markings. Maybe it's the lighting and angle?

Sabine is the most knowledgeable person I found so far. I called her yesterday for a sick chicken and she knew what to give her.There is a Feed Store in Canton that has ton of baby chickens, ducks, quail, turkey, bunnies and geese. I wish I could remember the name. The owners are great! Sabine is one of them and very knowledgable. She has helped me save one of my chicks. I'll try to get the name, but wanted to throw this out there as an option for you guys.
Edited to add name: TC Country store. http://www.tc-country.com
It's the best feed store in N GA in my opinion. Second would be Ruckers. I've gotten chicks there before and they were very healthy.
They kinda look different sizes, BUT... one is always crouching low with its head drawn in to its body. While the other one is always kinda standing or standing tall, with its neck extended.
But the last time I had two that were very obviously different sizes, while being the same breed/age, they ended up being a male and female. The smaller was a female silkie, the bigger was a male.

She was crouched because she falls asleep every time we hold her lol.
Gender might be the case of she wasn't the only 1 of 21 that was that size. All the others are the bigger ones size. She is literally half the size not sure if pics do the difference justice. The coloring difference i think is just the fact that they are mix bred but all the same mix. I just think she is adorable. We may keep her instead of selling idk yet. But here is a pic where she's actually awake with multiple others. For better comparison.

none of mine are EEs. Although eventually of love to get a couple. Some of them do have fluffy cheeks like that but the last hatch grew out of the fluffy cheeks.Are you talking about your EE? My EE is smaller than my other 4 chicks. Noticeably smaller. I worried about stunted runt syndrome. My others are a splash Maran, 2 buff orps and an Olive Egger. My olive Egger is def my largest chick and the same age as the others. She also has huge feet.
