Can you help identify my chicks?

We just got  five 7-day old chicks. The seller was not sure what they were, having gotten a "grab bag" lot. She thought there were some Black Stars and Australorps. Can you help us figure out what we have? Thank you!!

First, welcome-byc.gif!!!!!!

 

1, 2, 5 look like Black Sex Links/Black Stars, and 3 looks like a Red Sex Link/Red Star. 5 might also be an Australorp, though usually they have more yellowish fluff near their bellies/faces. Not sure about 4. They're precious, though roll.png Post some more pics when they're older and we can try to give you updates on their breeds.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the information. I will post more pictures as they get older. This is our first experience with baby chicks. They are so much fun.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change; 
courage to change the things I can; 
and wisdom to know the difference.

In Jesus name Amen :)
