Hello Everyone!

So I am fairly new to chickens but I am loving them so far. The hen seems to be doing well and just started laying again yesterday but I am trying to figure out what type of chickens I have and if they are roos or not. First pic is the hen that adopted them. Ill get some better pics of the chicks but I believe the 2 whites are light Brahmas and the 2 darker ones are similar to momma or buffs maybe? Thank you for all the time and love the forums!












 
This is my light brahma at 9 10 weeks. If they look anything like this one then you have a light brahma.

Light Sussex and Columbian wyandotte have those markings as well as Delaware. I would ask for more details.

This shot you can see they have feathered feet in. This is my light and my dark brahma having a chat.



This is my old lady that is a Delaware. Notice that you cannot see the feet in this pic so breed id becomes more difficult.
(Yes the comb is a dead giveaway with her)



Below you can see she has no feathers on the feet.

I tried to post my facebook video but it wouldn't work so I will try to get some full body pictures tonight, I am not too happy as when they were chicks it was a bit hard to tell being new to it all and I paid $70 for what were supposed to be light brahmas and I took the hen because she was broody and took to the chicks well. They all have feathers on their feet also so there is definitely something wrong then and I for sure got ripped off so I will ahve to wait until next month to get more and try to get rid of the other 2 as I will have a rooster and dont want to cross them, or should I start all over considering the 2 lights may be crossed as well?

Thank you for all the responses and time!
 
If they all have feathered feet then you got some mixed birds. I would like to see the pics when you get them posted. I think you may have a light and a buff brahma. Mama is not colored correctly to be a buff brahma. I will look for the pic of Sandy my buff.



Looks like I need to get the camera out and get some of Sandy. She has black feathering on the neck and in the tail.

Feathering on the feet is a Brahma thing for sure. NOW there are many colors of Brahma out there. There is a thread on here with nice folks that may have more knowledge of the different colors out there.
