Chick Breed Guessing

[cmchickens]

These chicks are from a Cackle hatchery surprise. Any guesses about breed would be awesome! Thanks for your help.



This one has puffy cheeks, which makes me think Easter Egger. Except I have two of these and they look exactly the same. Yellow baby down, a bit of reddish tint. White wing feathers with a light rusty bit on them.

Again, I usually assume Easter Egger when I see chipmunk type birds, but I know there are many different breeds that look chipmunky.







I have a couple of these. They are tiny (bantam?) They have rows of black dots on their backs and white and black feathers coming in. They refuse to sit still for half a second. I kind of think these are silver spangled Hamburgs, but they are just so tiny!

I think the ones with the puffy cheeks are EEs.

I think the ones with the puffy cheeks are EEs.

Agreed.

The birds in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th photo are Silver Laced Wyandottes. The tiny birds are probably Silver Sebrights, but could be Silver Spangled Hamburgs (as that is a small large fowl breed).

Excellent, thank you guys! So is it safe to assume that any bird that is clean legged and non-crested with a beard or muff is an EE? I've got one more…


Single comb, yellow legs.
