Brand new to this I have 7 chicks I am unsure of breed.

[LauraBeth0513]

I have a few slightly educated guesses of my chicken breeds. I have 7 "egg birds" from a meat and egg combo ordered from Murray Mcmurray. The "meat birds" are obvious because they are twice the size of all but 3 of my "egg birds" and yellow/turning white. My Leghorn rooster is obvious because he is the only little yellow/turning white chick
I apologize I may have gone overboard with pictures lol!!! I have guesses and discriptions between each group of pics

First chick I Think may be an auraucana/Americana? Her legs are very slightly grey.

















This one I am thinking Buff Orpington? or red star?











This one I know is a Turken (Ha) can we tell if she is a girl?










This one I think is a blue andalusion?
















This one I WAS thinking was a blue Andalusian as well but its comb is different (almost non existent)











This one has very similar coloring as the first coming in but has different markings on the head and pink legs







This one I am thinking cuckoo maran?

















This is the Leghorn (can we tell if if he is a he yet?)






comparison of meat bird vs foghorn leghorn

Welsummer or Light Brown Leghorn.

Red Sex-link or New Hampshire Red. Buff Orpingtons should have white legs.


This one I know is a Turken (Ha) can we tell if she is a girl?

It's too young to tell gender. For guesses on that, wait until they are 6 weeks old or so and mostly feathered in.




This one I think is a blue andalusion?
Could certainly be a Splash Andalusian (not the blue form, as it's too light).


Silver Spangled Hamburg

Perhaps a Pioneer.

This one I am thinking cuckoo maran?

Barred Plymouth Rock. Cuckoo Maranas have white legs.

This is the Leghorn (can we tell if if he is a he yet?)

It is too young to tell for sure. But, "it" already has a relatively large comb, so you probably have a cockerel.

The leghorn is most likely male. The others are hard to tell because they are so young.

I agree with Wyandottes7's guesses.
