I just received my Leann's adopt bargain from Meyer this morning. I have no idea what breeds these could be, I'm pretty new to chickens. I have a total of 27 chicks with I think 11 different breeds.
A.
400
This one is light brown with some patches. It has light feet with grayish (4) toes.
B.
400
This one has a freckled back with gray feet (4 toes)
C.
400
This one is light yellow with a black upside v on its back. It has feathered legs and 5 toes.
D.
400
This one is reddish brown with a few dark brown/black spots on its head and back. It has yellow feet and 4 toes.
E.
400
This one has a dark brown stripe with light brown stripes on the sides. It has yellow feet and 4 toes.
F.
400
This one looks similar to the last but has darker lines and more of cream colored lines on the side. It also has 5 toes instead of 4.
G.
400
This one is dark brown with a copper face and has feathered feet. (4 toes)
H.
400
This one is a little yellow fluff ball with feathered feet and 5 toes
I.
400
This one is mostly dark brown with some barely noticeable lighter brown patches/markings and brown legs. (4 toes)
J.
400
This one is cool lookings with a dark brown speckled face and a dark line down its back. It has black legs and 4 toes.
K.
400
These are yellowish with some gray and dark gray on the back and head. They have feathered feet and 4 toes.

I think thats all of the different ones. Any clues to what they might be would be a lot of help. I'm thinking some of the striped ones might be dorkings and the all yellow one a faverolle? But they are total guesses. I would really love to know what J is.
 
Looks like you got a couple silkies (5 toes feathered legs) it's difficult to tell on most of them.
 
Thanks for the replies! That was my guess with H, that was one of the few where I could narrow it down to a couple breeds only. I guess I'll just have to wait for most of them to feather out to make more guesses :/
 
C and H are probably Faverolles. D could be any of several red breeds, like the Production Red, Rhode Island Red, and New Hampshire Red. G looks like a Buff Brahma. E and F could be Welsummers, Speckled Sussex, or Light Brown Leghorn. I looks a bit like a Partridge Rock.

Other than that, I'm not sure. You should be able to tell as they get older.

I agree with these guesses.
 
Thank you thank you thank you bantamlover21! Those were a great help :)
 
Does anyone think J could be a turkey? I did ask for them to throw one in so I'm thinking its a possibility.

maybe 1 is a turkey? I know nothing of them so, probably not.

B. Looks like a Silver Spangled Hamburg or Silver Sebright
E. Looks like an old english, could be an easter egger.
G. Looks like a Mille fleur cochin
J. Looks like a wyandotte of sorts.

doesnt look like any silkies, none of them have dark skin. If they are silkies, they arent pure. Your suspects are C., H., and K.
