I got a surprise package from Cackle Hatchery about 7 weeks ago and I am having trouble on a couple birds. I think they are all poults but not sure on the breed. Any help would be great.
Sorry my kids had to be in the pictures.







They all were chipmunk colored chicks and I took two pictures of each bird. Thank you for the help.
 
The first bird is either a Silver Phoenix, Silver Leghorn, or Silver Duckwing Old English Game. The second chick is probably a Black Breasted Red Old English Game, or possibly a Golden Phoenix. I'm not sure about the last one.

I agree. The first chick looks like a Silver Phoenix, or possibly a Silver Blue Old English Game, though Phoenix is more likely. The second chick looks like a Black-Breasted Red Old English Game. And the third, Silver Duckwing Old English.

First pullet looks to be a silver phoenix, Dorking would have 5 toes.
Second pullet looks like a golden phoenix to me.
Third pullet has a rose? comb, reminds me of a few hatchery silver laced Wyandotte's I seen.

Phoenix are not big birds, so they will be petite compared to a rock or a RIR.

I was thinking the first two were old English game fowl of phoenixes. Is there a way to tell the difference between the OEGF and Phoenixes or do I have to wait till they get bigger. I seem to have 2 males of the silver and a female. Can I keep both males or is it best to find one a home? I know with OEGF I would have to separate the males or find one a home. The third chick is a hard one and does seem to have a rose comb. That one has me really stumped. Thank you all for the help.
 
It does kind of look like the pictures you posted.
