Breed?

[MysteryChicken]

Hi, these are my 1 week old chicks of unknown breed. My kids picked them because they are cute... thanks kids. And my dog is infatuated with the chickens.
Jenny mostly grey with grey beak and grey feet.
Smores, yellow chick with grey highlights, orange beak and legs.
Rainbow, she's got a little white mixed in, and just a couple tufts on her knuckles.

The one with the headspot is a Heritage Plymouth Barred Rock chick.

Are they assortment?
Blue is most likely to be Blue Andalusian
Light one is most likely a Deleware
And the black chick most likely to be Barred Rock.

If Rainbow (the mostly black chick) has feathers on her feet, I'd look into marans varieties Meyer's has?

Better photos in good lighting with the chick in focus would help. I can't tell if the little Blue with the fuzzies on her outside toes has muffs/beard or if that's just a blur/shadow.

There is no way to tell if the Black chick is a "Heritage" Barred Plymouth Rock. Considering that it came from a hatchery it is almost certainly not and would be considered a production strain of Barred Plymouth Rock. There is a number of other Barred or Cuckoo breeds it could be. The most likely is that it is a Barred Rock, or a Black Sex-link Cockerel.

Do you know if the birds are sexed pullets?

Meyer does claim to sell "Barred Plymouth Rock" chicks, and also "Heritage Barred Plymouth Rock."

Barred and Cuckoo chicks of many breeds look alike to me at that age, so I won't be any help sorting that one out.

They were sexed, and should be pullets.

She was the Meal Maker. We had that on our list. Thats exciting if it is, they are a good breed.
