Hey chicken folks! I got 6 more lil chicks yesterday from the local feed store, seems the mad supply issues leveled off around here.
Anyway these were labeled as Rhode Island Red pullets (the lighter ones) and ISA brown pullets (the darker ones). I have minimal experience identifying birds, and have seen a variety of photos and info online regarding those breeds that makes me curious if these birds are in fact what I think! Doesn’t matter to me other than I love good information 😊
So, do you think my breeds are accurate?

I agree, the Rhode Island reds look right, but the others are definitely something else. It’s early yet to be able to tell exactly what they are, as a lot of breeds have that chipmunk look as chicks.

Here they are now at almost 3 weeks. Wondering if the brown ones are perhaps legbars? They look just like the Meyers hatchery light brown legbars as day old chicks. Idk but the red ones are also getting very white wings! My youngest calls them snow owls now 😆
 
speckled sussex
Definitely considered that possibility too! All 6 of these birds have yellow legs & I read the speckled Sussex was white? But seems exceptions and differences can always exist 😊 I’ve loved their cleopatra-esque winged eye patterns.
