Hello everyone, I ordered an assorted mixture of chicks from Murray McMurray and am attempting to guess some of the breeds. I think two of them may be Columbian Wyandottes. What do you think? Pictures are at 2 weeks old unless noted. I know it's early, I'm just excited lol! Thanks in advance! :)

Chick 1




Chick 2


And at 1 week old:


These two have similar combs but are gray & orange. I have my fingers crossed for blue laced red wyandottes but thats probably wishful thinking!


and the other:


1 week old:


And finally, theres this guy. I'm not sure what to make of him/her. Either a wyandotte of some kind or a sicillian buttercup??





1 week old. He/she was chipmunk-y at first.

Thank you both for your input! Yay, wyandottes!

Did a little more reading on the Buttercup breed and am now leaning towards that for the last chick because of her greenish legs. Still clueless on the orange and gray chicks though.

I can't help with the chicks you think are Wynadottes because I don't know anything about Wyandottes. The third chick is a defo Sicilian Buttercup though. Rare breed, beautiful when older! :)
 
Thanks CrazyClucker, her comb has finally started to develop so I am in 100% agreement about #3 being a buttercup. Woohoo! So far pretty timid and girly looking/acting, so heres hoping for a pullet!
 
Growing, growing, growing! The two in question have feathered out a bit more, and I'm pretty sure they are BLRW! Unfortunately, I'm also fairly sure they're roosters. Pretty pink combs.. but they're so gorgeous I'm gonna have to find them new homes if they are boys.










And updates on the others... Here's the two columbians. I think I have a boy & girl if comb color means anything yet. I tried to get some good pictures of their combs but eventually gave up. One posed pretty,

The other refused to hold still for a single second.


And the Buttercup is turning into a very purty birdy too! Pretty positive she's a she. Sweet little thing!
