Hi everyone!

I had 8 chicks hatch over the weekend and I’m wondering if anyone could help me distinguish what breed they may be. Chick one is a ham and so fluffy! (Looks like he stuck is finger in a socket). Haha thanks in advance

1 and 3 look like Easter eggers and 2 looks like it has silkie in it maybe mixed with a Easter egger?
Thank you! That's what I was thinking. I have about 12 hens and it's harder to tell who's laid which egg a lot of times - just trying to go by egg colors between some of them. The rooster I have with them is an easter egger mix and the last chick I hatched from a buff orpington I had and him was definitely an easter egger mix.

I sure do have some cute "muts" though LOL

Where did you get the eggs?
Also, could you post some pics of the chicks now that they are probably dry?
I got them from my flock which is a bunch of different breeds. The main rooster is an Easter Egger mix.

Here’s some pics! (And excuse missy my hen - she was attacked by another chicken earlier yesterday so I had to bring her in to get her all cleaned up and she couldn’t help but love on the chicks lol)

Ok. So their father is the EE mix, obviously. So you are wanting to try to figure out the crosses? If so, we would need a list or pic of your possible mothers.
