5 week old Rainbow Pullets from Meyer Hatchery - what are they???

[jrleader99]

I received 25 rainbow chicks

from Meyer Hatchery on June 8th. I need help figuring out what they are:

#1 - green legs

#2 - Black legs

#3 - White legs

#4 - Yellow legs

#5 - Black legs

#6 - Yellow legs

#7 - Yellow legs with black on the front ()

#8 - Green legs

Let me know your thoughts. I am going crazy surfing around looking for a good site to figure this out.

Thanks!!!!!

I don't know what Rainbow chicks are, but #1 EE, #6 White Rock, #7 Barred Rock (and it's a cockerel), #8 EE. The rest I don't know.

I think #2 is a Blue Andalusian and #4 is a Welsummer.

#1 & #7 - Easter Egger
#3 - Speckled Sussex
#4 - Welsummer
#8 - Easter Egger

NICE variety! I don't know what the others are....

#1: ? EE (mainly b/c it has green legs)
#2: ? Blue Andalusian
#3: definitely a Speckled Sussex (I have these)
#4: looks just like an EE chick I have. Are you sure there isn't a greenish tint to the legs? does not look like my Welsummers
#5: no clue
#6: ? Leghorn
#7: ? Barred Rock
#8: EE

Sorry about that I should have been more specific. Rainbow chicks were a special from Meyer. They are supposed to be all pullets that lay various colored eggs - white, blue/green and brown - all in the same purchase of 25 chicks for $25. I couldn't turn it down.

Everyone - thanks for your thoughts.

My guesses were:

1 - EE due to the green legs
2 - was not sure
3 - I was leaning toward Speckled Sussex
4 - I was thinking Campine but really had no idea
5 - Black Astrolorp (sp) b/c it looks like a vulture right now
6 - White Leghorn
7 - Barred Rock due to the yellow/black legs.
8 - EE due to the green legs
