Can you identify these chicks?

They could either be mixes, or pure OEGB, depending on parentage. :) It doesn't appear they're Ginger Red, though. Chicks of this coloration appear very similar to Mille Fleur variety.

They look like Jubilee Orpingtons or Speckled Sussex. We have 2 chickens that look like that and we think they are those. Hopefully that helps!

If you chicks look like these they are not Jubilee Orpingtons. Jubilee Orpingtons hatch solid yellow or reddish yellow. Speckled Sussex do hatch with the chipmunk pattern though.
 
It’s not a Speckled Sussex or Orpington cuz they do not have those as a breed. They thought the eggs were too large for bantams so not OEGB. Do you know what your red hen is? It’s hard to tell in photo but could be New Hampshire red, mix, or Welsummer. The light shining on neck made me think Welsummer but legs look like NHR. Cute chicks. So likely Wyandotte with red hen.
