Brown Leghorns, Welsummers, Speckled Sussex, and what else ...all look like brown chipmunks.

How do you tell them a part??

Please tell me what to look for, leg colors, feather patterns, etc...show me pics of tiny chipmunks and what they turn into

I have 4 chicks that look this way and I need to know what they are before I sell off the ones I don't want.

Thank you

Here are pictures of our chipmunks...I have to use my phone so not the best quality, but you can see them

They are by far some of the largest chicks we have..legs look pinkish to orange...


We actually have 6 different chipmunky chicks, but two are a tad different and probably EEs..but the others all have STRONG deep reddish brown strips down their backs with a white outline strip and their wing feathers are starting to come in a blue grey.

Here is a picture taken a few days ago & THESE are the chicks in question. I have 4 that look just like this one.

This one I am guessing is an EE

Yep, I know the EEs from the others...do you think that one chick up top I posted is a brown leghorn? If someone gives me a definite yes, then I know I have 4 of them and can sell off 3.

As soon as we opened the box my 14 year old son said..look at all the brown leghorns! Then I started seeing picture after picture of the same chicks..but they weren't brown leghorns...enough to make me batty.
