7 Week Old Chicks - Unknown Breeds

[maudeflanagan]

I have posted about some of the chicks before. I have been waiting until they are more developed to post any pictures to my favorite area of the forum. This group of chicks were hatched for a class project using local hatching eggs. The hatching eggs were selected for color, so some of them, I have no idea what breed they are. I suspect #1 is a cream legbar and a pullet, but the rest I am unsure what breed and what gender they are. I look forward to the responses.

Thanks for looking and I can take extra pictures if needed.

2, 3 and 6 are easter egger cockerels, 4, 5 and 7 are also ees, but likely pullets. 4 actually looks like a real ameracauna to me but the odds are she isnt.

The lady I purchased the hatching eggs from has lavender ameracaunas, wellsummers, Barnevelders, and blue ameracaunas. These could all be mixes. Some of the eggs were labeled as 100% lavender ameracaunas, but I don’t know if that is a “real” breed. As I said, I was interested in adding more colorful eggs to the mix, so I requested interesting eggs vs breed.

They're all ameracauna mixes, or easter eggers. 4 and 5 could be a black and blue Ameracaunas.

None are purebred. You likely have all Easter Eggers / Olive Eggers.
1,2,3, and 6 may lay olive colored eggs if one parent was a barnevelder or welsummer and one was an Ameraucana. Based on the beards that seems to be the case.
There are no Lavs so if those were the only eggs marked as purebred then pure Am is out.

You should have a nice color variety from any girls in this mix. As for gender it's too hard to say with mixes until it either crows or lays an egg.

So you think that #1 is also an EE/OE? The egg it came from was marked “100% CL”. I thought for sure it was a cream legbar. I attached a few more pictures of #1. The second pic is from a few weeks ago.

Thank you for the input. I always learn so much when I post/read these threads.




I am going to edit to add the picture of the eggs when I got them:

Only 8 of the 16 hatched.

1: olive egger or cream legbar pullet (depends on egg color once laying)
2-3: Easter egger cockerels
4-5: black and blue ameraucanas or EEs (depends on egg color), they are pullets
6: Easter egger cockerel
7: blue ameraucana or EE (depends on egg color if female)
