I do have the one withthe white patches and I thought that was the Oliver egger. I am pretty sure the gray one is the sapphire gem. So the one with the white chest is a ?????

Didn’t you get them from labeled bins?
I think one of the black ones is a cockerel.
Way too much comb at such a young age.

I did get them from labeled bins and I still have the receipts of what I'm suppise to have. Remember I thought the "jersey giant" may be a boy on day one. Now I don't know the breed or sex..lol

To be honest all of them have good de elopement on the combs. I think this ones stands out due to color. The cinnamon has more of a comb and I know she is a girl, but because of her coloring it doesn't stand out.

I am silently praying here.

So the one I thought was the olive egger is proble the jersey giant. Then that means the black one is an olive egger? Are olive eggers black?

 

[llombardo]

Of course Oliver egger chicks are similar

I think they could be due to a possible Black Copper Marans or Black Americauna as part of the Oliver Egger cross.

The cheeks is my give away on what I think is the Olive Egger. Jerseys have no muffs or beards. The white chest could be jersey if the bottoms of its feet are yellow. If they are pink or flush you probably have an Australorp. Feed stores are notorious for mis labeling chicks. Just think of it as a fun guessing game.

 

[llombardo]

The one that is black with white does have yellow on the bottom of feet.

I was at D&B Supply yesterday looking for a Baby Cake because they didn’t have any at Tractor Supply.
They had red sex links and dark and buff Brahmas.
But the Brahmas were clearly labeled wrong.
The dark chicks were labeled “Buff” and the lighter chicks were labeled “Dark”.
I told a couple of employees but nobody cared...
