    What breed are these chicks?

    I'm just getting started with raising chickens, and recently got 4 chicks from our local TSC store. I was told they were all Golden Comets but they all don't look like the photos of Golden Comets I have seen in the forums. Attached is a photo from the day I brought them home and 2 more recent...
