Breed identification

[MomentaryBlossom]

Hello! I'm hoping someone here can help me identify the breed of each of these chicks. The breeds I requested were cream legbar, Americana (the parents are Araucana and Ameraucana), olive egger (parents are either Americana x French Cuckoo Maran or Legbar x Welsummer), and easter egger (unsure of what the parents are). I've attached pictures of each chick in question. I know the leg color can help in identifying breed, so I've tried to show that as best I can. I'm not sure of what all chicken leg colors look like, so if anyone has pictures for that, I'd be very appreciative.

It’s tough to tell since those breeds and mixes have a lot in common. Here’s what I think.
1. Easter Egger
2. Olive Egger, probably part Marans because of the pink legs.
3. Easter Egger
4. Legbar

“Americanas” and Easter Eggers are the same thing, Americana is just how some hatcheries spell it so people think they’re getting real Ameraucanas.

I think chick 4 is your crested cream legbar.

Your EE and OEs are mixes so it's going to be hard to tell them apart until they're older.

Some clues:

chick 1 and 3 have pea combs. So probably your EEs.

Chick 2 has a single comb so maybe Olive Egger? Keep an eye on that comb. Seems large for such a little thing. Hopefully not a cockerel.

I'm definitely keeping an eye out for cockerels, as all of the chicks (except the silkies) that I have now were sexed as females. Chicks #2 and #4 are older than the other chicks. Chick #2 is about 3 times the size of the rest, and chick #4 is about twice the size of the rest. I'm guessing chick #2 is closer to 5(?) weeks old now. For reference, chick #1 can fit in my hand and barely cover half of it, but chick #2 is this big:

I know about the Americana vs Ameraucana marketing scheme, but I still like to distinguish these Americanas from Easter Eggers since I know the chicks came from crossing an Araucana with an Ameraucana, rather than crossing with another unknown breed. I know it isn't a true Ameraucana, but it's still bred differently than the Easter Eggers in my flock, and more likely to show beard and cheek fluff and lay actual blue eggs rather than a random array of colors like Easter Eggers are likely to do.
