New chicks, mixed assortment (unknown breeds) -Updated pictures 6-7 weeks old (seeing red!)

post #1 of 41
Thread Starter 

I am adopting some of the chicks we hatched in my classroom.  I am keeping my fingers crossed that I don't pick out all roosters.  I have been looking for any post that might help me find out what some of them are.  The eggs were all different colors: blue, pink, brown.  I want to keep the yellow one in this picture:

The other ones I am looking at keeping are the chipmunk one, the small black one next to it and the black one next to that one.  The small one came out of a greenish egg and was the last to hatch (on my birthday and at my house so I am attached!) but I am not sure of the others since they hatched when they were at school.

Any ideas or tips would be much appreciated.  I am new here and new to owning chicken, and very excited!

 

Thanks!

The chipmunk ones look like a Easter Eggers (?) (do they have beards?)

 

It's the shape that makes the breed, and the color that makes the variety.

That is what I was thinking they are, but no beards or fuzz on their cheeks.

The chicks are home.  I had a hard time deciding so I took six (funny how it went from 3 to 6!).  Any guesses on what the first two are?  They came from a different classroom but from the same farm.  I am also not sure about Olive, the other black chick has greenish legs and came out of a colored egg) I might be jinxing myself by giving them all girl names but I hope they are!  They are one week old today.  Any guess on the sex?  I know it is SUPER early but there are some smart people here!

I like your names!  Carmen looks like my Easter Egger chicks...especially if she came from a blue/green egg.  I am new to chickens so I can't help with the rest but they are cute :)

Anyone have any ideas about Eloise and Willow?  None of the others have yellow legs or white feathers like these two.

The chicks are 3 weeks old now.  I was on vacation for a week and my mom so kindly took care of them.  I can't believe how much they have changed.  Anyone think I should be concerned about Carmen being a roo?
