I thought the same thing. Funny coloring for a chick and the body shape doesn't look right to me either.

First one is an EE mix with 5 toes to boot! Some how crossed with Silkie I suppose. Or possibly a Partridge Silkie that was poor quality and didn't get the Silkie feather gene.
The tophat one is a White Crest Black Polish, they go through a phase of looking like they went through a wind tunnel that blew their tops half off, then they start getting their real feathers and look really cute.
Not sure on the buff chick.

LOL...he's a farmer and has been working 14-16 hour days lately...first real day off in over a month...he was totally oblivious to me and my chick photo shoot ;-)

So, if my second chick is a guinea...can it be in with my chickens and what do I do with guinea eggs if its female?

we had a Guinea that we raised from a peep with the rest of our chickens. He was fun and a really good watchdog for the flock. When I had to liquidate my flock last year, he went with them and to this day won't go run with the other guineas where he went to live. Still thinks he's a chicken.

The first one looks to be a Silkie cross (5 toes, so cute

) probably mixed with an EE. That'll be neat ^_^
