Cackle's Hatchery Surprise arrived Wanna help ID them?!?

[ChickenSheep]

Hey guys,
these 40 chicks (& 2 ducks) just arrived this morning and I thought I'd start a thread to help me ID them over the next few months...
I am a spring chicken with poultry but I have been able to ID a few.

The yellow ones and chipmunk ones are especially hard for me to distinguish....

What kind of assortment did you get? That might help us ID some of them. I think you have some Easter Eggers. They have really fluffy faces. The one in your hand and one brown one drinking look like EEs.

What hatchery did you get them from? The hatchery might have a catalog with all their breeds, and pics of the adults and chicks. Super adorable!

 

[Mac14]

Haha! Just realized that you put the hatchery in the title...

Yes, to clarify... this is the Cackle Hatchery "Hatchery's Surprise".

I know some won't be distinguishable until they grow a little. But the idea of easter eggers is fun!

Are the "chipmunk" looking ones old english birds? I looked on the site and they are the only ones I saw that had that distinct look.

The picture of the chicks drinking, the chipmunk looking one in the middle looks like a Welsummer? And maybe also the one almost behind the waterier.

Some of the silver/grey chicks look like either German Spitzhauben or Silver Spangled Hamburgs. Maybe?
