Anybody good with chipmunk chicks? 2 weeks old

I know. It’s just driving me nuts in the meantime

The wait is hard.

I thought I had barnevelders last year that turned out to be leghorns

That is quite the letdown.

Does anyone see Bielefelder for chick #5? I posted this on Facebook also and someone over there feels strongly that’s a Bielefelder.

Don't think 5 is a Bielefelder.

Bielefelders are supposed to have white barring and yellow legs.
#5 does not seem to have barring, and does seem to have dark legs.
So if it was meant to be a Bielefelder, it's a very poor-quality one.

If someone told me #1 was a Bielefelder, I'd look at those white lines across the wings and say "hmm, maybe so."

#1 does look like a Bielefelder, but there is a greenish tinge to the legs. Wondering if it could be a Legbar/Welsummer cross olive egger?

I wish that person was right, I would love to have a Bielefelder...but I don't think it is either. I really think it's a Meyer OE.

OE would be my best guess too. Someone on the FB post said possible Swedish Flower? Her legs maybe have the slightest green tint... not so much as #5 though!

Woops!! Maybe the lady who says #5 is a Bielefelder is onto something. Check out this video. Their legs do have some green and the barring isn't super present yet. ...maybe my luck will pan out and that will be what I have here!
