chicks hatched from brown eggs - what are we?!

[sugarjax06]

I had 2 hens go broody but I didn't have the kind of fertile eggs I wanted. So I went to a local farm that sells chicks and brown eggs and set the eggs. The eggs were brown, a few may have been slightly tinted. The farm sells these chicks so that should narrow your choices: New Hampshire Reds, Red Sex-Links (Red Stars), Easter-Eggers (Ameraucanas), Silver-Laced Wyandottes, 3 color varieties of Giant Cochin (Blue, Black and Splash) - this is taken from their website.

#1 the one with more black in the feathers and #2 the lighter one that's looking down

#3 This red-ish one looks different from the others and #4 I have no idea what this is? It's black but not a cochin?

# 4 again Another attempt at catching the black one

If I need to get better pictures then I can when they go inside for the night

Thank you!! All in all this was very fun to hatch mystery eggs!

I don't know what they are but the chick in the first picture looks like looks like it is asking "Am I a hen or a roo"? They are very cute. I am expecting some chicks next weekend as one of my buff orpingtons has been sitting on eggs for about two weeks. I have no idea how many are under her. I am going to move her tomorrow, along with her eggs to my shed so she can have some privacy.

#1 & 2 100% New Hampshire Reds, #3 Easter-Egger and #4 100% Silver-Laced Wyandotte

Can EEs produce brown eggs? I suppose one of the eggs could have ben tinted pink if anything but they were sold as brown eggs.
Anyone else have opinions? I hope you are right about the black chick - I just looked up a picture of the silver laced wyandottes and they are beautiful!

Easter Eggers can lay pretty much any color egg. You never know what you're going to get until they start laying. She might surprise you and lay a blue egg when she grows up.
