Hi all! I have some chicks purchased in assortments of rare, white and colored eggs, no bantams are included in these assortments. I ordered 50 and there’s about 1/2 I could identify! It’s kicking my butt when it comes to identifying, if we’re being honest! I purchased from Meyers Hatchery if that helps! I have looked at their wonderful ID tool on the website but I’m still in a state of wonder bc they either don’t look like anything or they look like 2 or 3 breeds🥴
Anyone able to help??
A. I think could be a number of things.. but leaning at Blue Andalusian as it was on the rare list..
B. I have no guesses at all other than assuming it’s probably and EE since I can’t seem to find a look alike.
C. Is a lot more gray than my other chicks that have similar markings.. very confused.
D. Also more gray but speckled face??
E. Turning brown and idk what it could be other than EE as well?

I'm going to take a guess, but I'm not certain on any of these.
A - I'm thinking that it's either a Andalusian like you guessed, or a Blue Orpington. Both are possibilities with the assortments you have.
B - This one looks like a Silver Spangled Hamburg to me. It has a rose comb and they lay white eggs so it would fit with the assortments that you got.
C - Since this ones got a chipmunk pattern I'm unsure, but I'm leaning towards Cream Legbar. I think I'm seeing the startings of a crest in the one week photo. I could easily be wrong though because there are so many breeds that have chipmunk patterned chicks and single combs.
D - I think this one is one of the various Eggers that Meyer offers.
E - I have no clue on this one, it could definitely be an Easter Egger or one of the other Egers that Meyer offers.
 
I agree with the above, except I don't think C is a pure Legbar. No sign of barring on the wings, and the legs look like they will be green or blue, which isn't right either. Probably it is one of the types of Easter eggers they list. I think E is a fibro Easter egger.
I’m thinking Light Brown Leghorn for C. I’m just not confident at all. I have a fibro Easter Egger and it’s black head to toe, this little gal is turning brown and that has me confused lol

Omg I never even thought about B being Silver Spangled Hamburg! The pictures on their site didn’t show an image from back but once I googled the breed and saw other images, I think you’re right!! Thank you!
C I’m thinking Light Brown Leghorn, but not confident!

You're welcome, I'm glad I could help! C could absolutely be a Light Brown Leghorn. There were so many breeds that fit the pattern of your chick, so I went with Legbar since I thought I saw a crest forming, but I could easily be wrong.
 
Blue orphington and D. Will be a solid black hen. I forget what is that breed I got two speckled chicks Jub Jub and Valdmir Putin Cepa. They add extra chicks. The really friendly ones are the breed you don't need and the quiet peeping ones are the rare ones, they run away when you try to catch them. I tried to find a Barred hen but I keep buying them grown up. This is Emma's daughter was named Princess I brought her to the park, watch out for dogs! This one Valdmir was a yellow chick and Jub Jub ( I painted her comb pink). Was a speckled spotted chick like a cheetah. Good luck!

Did you find out what your baby (e) was? I have one looks identical! Her wings are turning a brown but she is mainly blk at the moment.
