Buff and grey chicks—just got them today

[Formosa]

I got an order today of three buff Brahma’s, three Cinnamon queens, and 15 assorted heavy chicks. The only one I’m having trouble with is this. What breed is this? I received four of them. Thank you for your help!View attachment 2168240View attachment 2168241View attachment 2168242View attachment 2168243

Ah, that makes a little more sense than Lavender Orpingtons (which I love, by the way.) Lavender O's aren't that common yet and since the hatchery is out of L.O.'s for the year, White Giants are more likely.

For assortments they'll send whatever extras they have. The only grey downed white breed they have are the white Giants, though I would have expected slate legs. Unless they ran out of brown egg layers and sent something else...

WG have yellow legs, so I don't know.

White Giants have slate legs. Yeah, the whitish legs don't match, but the down color/feather color isn't any of their other brown layers.

I'd say white Giants.

I went and checked their legs; they're yellow with pinkish undertones. I found a pic on Hoover's Hatchery that looks like the little darlings.

WG have yellow legs, so I don't know.

I just realized that the light from the red lamp was making their feet look pinkish. They really are yellow.

Yes! I think so!
OK, so I have another one for you. I got a mixed bag of rare breeds from Mt. Healthy Hatchery about six weeks ago. It's been fun trying to figure out what breeds I have. They are all supposed to be females and I am pretty sure this one is a Barnvelder; however, I don't know if it is a male. The other two of the same breed have little comb development and their combs are just yellow. What do you think? Give it some more time? She/He certainly doesn't act like an incipient rooster. My dominant pullet (a Brahma, believe it or not) puts this bigger chick in its place every day.
