An update! The light golden one is a Starlight Green Egger! She just started laying a few days ago at 16 weeks.
@cherrynberry There are two that look similar...now 17 weeks old and not laying yet, but the one pictured here is doing the submissive squat and I hope to find out what color eggs she lays soon!
Also may one of the light ones is a Starlight Green Egger? Looks like some of mine...I thought maybe they were ISA browns, but that’s not part of the colored egg layer pack.
I got the egg production variety pack and the colored egg layer variety pack from Hoover’s Hatchery. Figured out a lot of the breeds but a few I’m not sure of. Please help! Chicks are 8 weeks old.

I have a 4' x 6' brooder with 22 two week old chicks in my dining room. How often should I clean the brooder (it's filled with pine shavings)? Does anyone have a nifty technique to do this? Scooping them up and putting them in an alternative bin causes a big uproar for them. Do you like to just...
I have been around chickens for 20+ years. My mom kept chickens, I’ve worked on farms, I’ve taken care of flocks while their owners are away from town and I have been advising a school chicken program here in Southern California since 2016. This is my first year raising chicks on my own! I have...
