I plotted and got myself a dozen chicks that I’m hoping are all different breeds (except one). Unfortunately some are super similar and I think I just have to be patient and wait it out to see who develops which breed traits as they’re so similar as chicks.
Here is my graphic of which chicks I ordered: 1 each of each blue mark, then 5 of a combo of the purple marks (there’s only 4 breeds so that means at least one duplicate, possibly more)
here’s a pic of the little floofs that I numbered
I’m reasonably sure on the 4 with breeds labeled.
Then 1,2,3 are so similar that I’m not sure I have any hope of telling which is which, but they should be an australorp, a silver cuckoo Marans, and a Dominique.
4,5,6 are all gray, but 4 is darker than the other 2 leading me to hope it is a cuckoo bluebar, and the other 2 are blue EEs. (This is the darker one of the 3 yesterday
7&8 are similar too, but one has a black dot on its head and the other has no dots but almost yellow on its neck...so I am very hopeful that 7 is a snowy Easter egger, and 8 is a super blue egg layer.
thoughts? How did I do? I can get better pics of the black ones if anyone wants to take a stab at helping me figure them out.
