We picked up some chicks to add to our flock yesterday… they were in a brooder labeled “egg production” or something like that… so no clue on breeds- I’m assuming they’ll all be brown egg layers.
Anyway- any educated folks out there care to enlighten me on breeds of these chicks? Thank you!

Just updating with some photos of my chicks…
We had a really hard first week and lost a bunch- i think it was a combination of my lack of experience and stress for the chicks from traveling to the hatchery, getting tossed about between bins, and then getting set up in our brooder…
still probably too early to identify the breeds but this is what the different chicks look like so far.

Is it possible number 5 is a bantam? I got to the RK at the end of the weekend and they were clearly down to the last chicks… is it possible they just threw them all together in bins regardless of breed etc? The bin was just labeled assorted egg layers… # 5 is so small compared to the others.

I have my suspicions that #1is a roo- also am thrown off by the feathered legs… it’s only on the legs not on the feet, he/she looks more like the chicks that resemble #4, they are the largest chicks in the brooder, pink/black legs, yellow eyes (hard to see in photos) and feathers coming in on legs…. Are they potentially “marans” (mixes hybrids…) I saw that Hoover hatchery (that supplies RK) has the Midnight Majesty Marans hybrid where the cockerel is barred and the pullet is black… anyway… would love to hear anyone’s votes/opinions!

I think they are about 3 weeks old
 
1 is is either an olive egger or cuckoo Marans. A straight on, top view picture of the comb could help.

2 looks like an olive egger. The dark legs differentiate it from a cream Legbar, I think.

3 barred rock or possibly black sex link cockerel.

4 I think is probably something like Mystic Onyx, which is a Marans hybrid. Or maybe a black copper Marans or olive egger.

5 most likely an Australorp.
