I just got my rare breed assortment from Meyer today and I'm trying to figure out what breeds I have. I did have one DOA but the others look good. I know that there is an Olive Egger mixed in this group somewhere and I think it's the little black one. But the others are a mystery. I'm thinking Black Jersey Giant for one (Splash Face) and Dominque for the other (Eyeliner), but I'm kind of at a loss on the gray one.

Gotcha! No it definitely does not have a head spot, that one is as black as a coal lol.

Once I straighten up a little and find a better place to lay the chicks out and take pics, I'll put some more in the thread for easier ID. :)

EDIT: I did find a head spot on one of the chicks, but not the Dominique one. Will post more photos!

#3, call sign Splash Face. Prominent white wing tips, yellow belly, splash markings on face, and what looks like a muff/beard? Super super cute though. Very slight feathering on legs, yellow feet. No ID band.

Eyeliner looks like the MMM I got yesterday and she turned out to be an OE. This is what she looks like, identical almost to your baby!

#4, call sign Little Black. All black, all the time. Orange feet, no feathering. No ID band. Might be some kind of bantam? Only half the size of the other chicks. Definitely the runt either way.
