Chick ID

[purplerice27]

Help! I just got assorted egg layers from a local feed store. I need help Identifying them. I just know I have 4 different breeds and that's it

Also you may not see it but the black chick is starting to grow a bit of brown or copper color at the tips of the new feathers. Thanks again!

Not sure of the breeds but keep an eye on the one in the first picture, it maybe cockerel. A lot of comb, how old are they about 3 - 4 wks?

@purplerice27 how old are they? I can't tell their breeds yet, you will have to wait until they are a little older, but it lookalike you have at least one cockerel I the bunch. It is always so frustratig she. You get roosters when you were supposed to get hens! I had that happen once. I bout two barred rock pullets from the feed store, and one was a pullet, and the other was a male. I asked if they could refund me,but they said they couldn't, because they did the sexing at the hatcherey, so they weren't responsible.

3-4 weeks sounds about right! I'm kinda disappointed I might have a roo, since that one has the most unique coloration I'll do another post in a few weeks to update!
