x2! Spitz are awesome, and they don't get nearly enough credit. Such an underrated breed.Silver spangled appenzeller spitzhauben. Rare!
I hope not culled if male. They're special.

HI LIddy. AWE your babies look so FLUFFY!What adorable chickies!
In your post post, 2, 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 15, 19, 21 and 22 all look like EEs to me.
I'll bet that the brown-head is a Fayoumi and I have one of those, too.
I have 2 Fayoumi pullets, hatch date 8/24 last year, of which one has just gone broody. They are flighty and lay small/medium eggs. Since I want eggs for sale, they are likely to be sold or culled.
Yellows 12, 14, 15 and 20 all look like EEs to me.
I also have some of the yellow-gray bodies with whiter wings. No clue what they will turn out to be.
My yellow top hats look like this at 3 weeks.
In your feather-footed list (FF), I have two of #3. The leg feathers weren't apparent upon arrival.
Does the FF chick #7 have teeny-tiny wings? If it does, I have one of those, too.I'd like it to stay the size it is and let me carry it in my pocket.
You know to be absolutely honest, I never even thought of looking at leg colors to identify them before you said that! I will have to take a closer look out there under better light! But it is good to know so thank you for that bit of information!I looked back at the pictures, and to be honest, their legs don't look too green right now.I guess I just listed that as a breed trait rather than noticing it on your babies!
They ARE!Our Fayoumis are fabulous free-rangers, great predator evaders, and they're so tough. Isn't it thought that they are resistant to Avian Influenza?
Ha ha, it's always the yellow or chipmunk-striped ones that are SOOOOOO hard to identify, because there are so many breeds that look like that!
Oh no, that's awful! I've got 9 cockerels right now, so try not to feel too bad......

NO dont jinx me!You're likely to have quite a few roosters in there, so you might want to wait to decide which ones you're keeping. LOL. I've been disappointed before because the ones I really wanted to keep ended up being roos.
I had and Egyptian Fayoumis before. She was very pretty and we called her Jezebel, but she was super flighty. She kept trying to go broody but would freak out if anyone went in the coop. It was an explosion of squawking and feathers so she never did stay broody. Fortunately our super sweet Phoenix likes to go broody.
Thanks for your guess Honora. It amazes me how closely alike a lot of the breeds look. I was going through cackle online and clicking open each and every link to look at the baby chick pictures. I finally gave up and came here!#23 of the patterned chicks looks like my Bielefelder pullet. I think Cream leg bars look like that too.
Your chicks are cute as the dickens - from the first group of photos I LOVE # 13- what a doll!! Think they are way too young to make any
I am so happy you said PULLET! I was hoping for more barred rock but I dont think they all are. Some have eyeliner and some look like they are feathering out solid black on the wings no bars. But I will wait and see!5 and anyone you think looks like 5 is a beautiful barred rock pullet.
13 and maybe a couple more (couldn't tell from pics) is a silver spangled appenzeller spitzhauben. These are rare and on a list of less than 7 breeders and 1000 birds. Keep him/her safe!
I only know these breeds since they're the only 2 I have.
I don't have too many pictures of my white Plymouth Rock as a chick, but here's a couple. Basically started out with yellow and gray and one white feather on the wings, then eventually turned all white. Pretty quickly actually.

The other ones Are Rd., Island red and barred rock.
Thanks so much leigti. I just really dont know where to start with the yellow ones! I am amazed that anyone can tell any of them apart.
