Breeds?

The ones with brown stripes could be either Brown Leghorn or Speckled Sussex.

hank you. I'll look up speckled Sussex now.

Just made a call into Big R and nobody knows what breeds they are. Just hatchery choice. So still a guessing game! They wouldn't even tell me what hatchery...

I had Rhode Island Red chicks that looked a lot like the top one. Picture is attached. The second one could be Barred Rocks. I can't find my pic of them when they were young, but they looked a lot like that.

Picture update. The two blue ones are different shades of blue. Was wondering if they could still be the same breed? Also any new thoughts on breeds for all? They are around 2 weeks old. (Confirmed)

the Black and white looks like a Australorp, the brown one could be a leghorn or welsummer. the 2 blue ones could be the same breed as blue can even be black and splash....they look like blue australorps.

The black and white one's legs and feet are the wrong color to be an Australorp. Australorp chicks have darker legs and feet.

I think that the odds they would have blue Australorp or blue orpingtons is pretty slim.

I'm guessing what you have there is Asian Blue chickens.

My local tractor supply had blacks last week.

I don't know much about them I think they may be a new hybrid layer.

I will go do a little more research.

It's clear they're not barred or cuckoo anything as none of them have a head spot.

I would also guess that your little chipmunk looking chick is a brown leghorn as these type of stores usually get layer heavy shipments. Yes sometimes they get fancier breeds like speckled Sussex. If the chick has yellow legs it's pretty likely to be a leghorn but many breeds look like that when chicks.

Thank you. I've never heard of Asian blues. I'll have to look them up.
