Can anyone verify my little flock?

[Alyanna77]

Since I found out my "Golden Comet" is an Easter Egger, now I'm curious if the others are what they were sold as. We got 6 supposed-to-be-girls from a local farm. I know some of the breeds are sex-link or autosexing, and the guy selling them checked various features before he handed us each of them (I know he looked at their wings & comb).

Blondie is supposed to be an Easter Egger girl

Cleo is supposed to be a Welsummer girl

Coo is supposed to be an Easter Egger girl

Darling is supposed to be a Lavender Orpington girl

Kali is supposed to be a Black Star girl

And Sue was supposed to be a Golden Comet girl that I've now been told is probably an Easter Egger (which is fine, if she's actually a girl)

Pretty sure Kali is right

Blondie does not look like an Easter egger. I think she might be a buff orpington but I’m not sure

They all look correct to me. Easter Eggers have fluffy little faces. The ones you said are EEs all have that. EEs come in a wide variety of colors. Your Welsummer is right and def a girl.

Looks to me like most of them match what you are saying. Definitely can verify the Lavender Orpington. I've got several of them i have add to my flock this year, they are beautiful little chicks. Your black star looks right, as does your Welsummer. Now keep in mind when they say easter egger its usually something cross bread with an amerucana or arucana. Its more of a designer chick. Take good care of them!

Yeah, I did know EEs are a mixed "breed" - I told him I wanted all girls, preferably who look different & lay different egg colors, so we can always know which one is involved if there are any issues. So hopefully that's what we got!

Thanks to everyone for the helpful responses! I don't really care that much what breeds they are as long as I can tell them apart, but I was worried that if they aren't the right breeds they might also be boys, which we don't need (& could get in trouble for having if they're too loud).

Well, I can tell you your black chick and your Wellie are pullets. Yay, sexlinks and autosexing!

Updated pics. Our girls (hopefully!) are now 5 weeks old, with the exception of Storm, who we think is 3-4 weeks? She replaced poor Darling (who started having difficulty breathing & didn't survive despite 3 straight days of doing everything we could for her).

I'd love any comments on gender & breeds!

Kali (female Black Star)

Cleo (female Welsummer)

Sue (female? sold as a Golden Comet, but I've since been told Faverolle mix, so we're thinking maybe half of each?)

Blondie (female? Easter Egger, possibly Buff Orpington mix?)

Coo (female? Easter Egger -I can't wait to see what she looks like as an adult!)

Storm (our baby girl? Lavender Orpington)

If it helps in identifying their breeds, the farm we bought them from lists: Welsummer, Barred Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, Lavender Orpington, Chocolate Orpington, Cream Legbar, Black Australorp, Golden Comet, Black Star, Salmon Favorelle, Golden Seabright, Silver D'Uccle, Mille Fleur D'Uccle, Silkies, Swedish Flower, Ayam Cemani, and Easter/Olive Egger (which I know is just a mix of breeds to get pretty eggs)
