Easter Egger Chicks (or not?)

[Fwoof]

Easter eggers are basically mutts so they can look like anything, you won't know for sure until you get eggs

Alright then. Yay, more waiting!

Agreed! They're going to be gorgeous though if that helps!

Definetly! Their coloring is really cool and unique.
I just want to know what their darn breed is!

*Another Update*

Going on seven weeks now, still no idea what these guys are...
Still willing to wait until an egg is laid, but any ideas?

The closest thing they seem to resemble is Speckled Sussex, but that's a lot of white on the chest!

They look like speckled sussex to me. The one on the right looks like a male. And the one on the left has an awful lot of black coming in on its breast, so I wouldn’t be surprised if that one was male too.

That's what I was leaning most towards. Is it usual that they have that much white and/or black on the chest?

I personally doubt they're male. Their behavior is very henlike and I don't see any sickles, saddle, or hackle feathers.
My Sicilian Buttercup (one of the four "females" that I purchased together) is the only one that turned out to be male and he looks and acts very different than them.

It’s not unusual for mottled birds to start out with a lot of white on their chest as chicks.

A lot of black on the chest is a normal sign of a male.

Got it. Thought I'd ask because they look like sussex yet not like sussex at the same time!

Interesting. Not showing any signs of being male at all yet, but I will report back to you if she turns out not to be a she.
