I put a post with some chicks we recently hatched but I figured I would put all pic on the same post or all my eggs in one basket so to speak. We got a batch of hatching eggs that we were told were all heritage breeds, and easter eggers. All eggs that hatched were with bluish or tan in color. I can't seem to identify any of these chicks. Can anyone help out. Our fear is we may have been mislead and that our variety batch was mixed breeds.

I asked and she carries neither of those breeds. They had barred rock, SS, RIR, silkie, EE, polish, SS Hamburg. Lav Orps and Lemon orps, BCM
 
They are adorable! I think you will have to wait until they feather out. Really hard to tell. Do any of the black ones have feathered legs, I could not tell from photos. If so may be BCM. I suggest you wait abut 2-3 weeks, when they have more feathers and then post each chick individually with a side photo.:)
 
No none have feathered shanks, I was almost curious if maybe they are a mixed group of orps. Been looking at chocolate, blue and black orp chicks pics reached out to the breeder to see if they get those colors. I agree it may take a few weeks before we know for sure. The EE we know for sure as they came from blue eggs :)
 
The one little chick that is silvery with some yellow may be a lavender orp. Some of the yellow chicks may be lemon orp. Orpington chicks tend to be a little fuller figured then other chicks. Little round fluffy bodies. May help tell which one are the orps.
