Like many I have some babies that were purchased from Atwood's. The first pictures were sold as ameraucanas or Easter Eggers. But as they began to get feathers they look more like Black Laced Golden Wyandotte to me. All are females. Could they be a hybrid Easter Egger?

Second group of babies were solid yellow chicks. Feathers coming in red. The darker red one is a cockerel. Got these from a straight run tub.
Chicks are 5 weeks old.

Here are a couple more photos. The suspected BL Golden Wyandottes have a pea comb almost nonexistent. As babies they had chipmunk markings with some tufts protruding from the sides of their heads. The feathers are black with the distinctive gold centers.

Also couple more of the reds first a picture of the small pullet. She is considerably smaller than my barred rock pullets of the same age. The second is my unexpected cockerel complete with early wattle! Could they be Red Hampshires? May the pullet is something else as her red feathers are mixed with white.

To my VERY untrained eye. I see production reds. Golden laced wyandotte, they look just like mine, and possibly a few barred rocks hiding in the back of the photos. But I could be wrong and someone here smarter than me will let you know.
 
Thanks for the help. I was pretty sure about the golden Wyandottes but wanted confirmation. I had been trying to purchase Easter Eggers because I am a kid I guess and wanted some blue eggs. However, the Wyandottes are beautiful birds so still happy!
