Hi everyone. I just got these 3 new little chicks and I would love some ideas on what breed they might be. The breeder said she had easter eggers, golden laced wyandottes, and silver laced wyandottes. I am not sure which ones I have, and would love some expert opinions. Thank you! Pictures are below.

Are the breeds you named the parent stock, so that they're mixed together, or did the breeder keep separate pens for each breed? Or did the breeder get them directly from a store or hatchery?
She said the chicks breeds were only one of those three choices I listed. She had them all mixed in one pen.
 
I hope you post pics as they grow. It's often very hard to tell at their current age.

I will try to clarify....

If they hatched these from their own flock and had all the adults in the same pen they are mixed breed chicks with the chance of full breed if any are from the same breed hen as rooster. With the exception of if their rooster is an Easter Egger as he would be a mixed breed bird as well so no pure offspring from him.

If they hatched them from their flock and kept the breeds separate they are more likely pure. That all depends on if they kept them that way all the time.

If they ordered them they are likely full breed.

If they hatched them from ordered eggs it's anyones guess as to what they are.
 
I'm sorry I confused the situation. It wasn't my intention. I'll give answers based on what I see.

The first chick looks to be an Easter egger/Wyandotte mix.

The second chick looks right for a Gold Laced Wyandotte.

The last chick looks like an Easter egger, but could also be an Easter egger/Wyandotte mix.

None of the chicks has silver coloring.
