Day old ID

[Mountain Peeps]

The Estes hatchery site has some of the nicest day old chick photos that can help clear a number of the breeds:

Then go to the Feather site and look at individual breeds.
Ancona: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/Anc/BRKAncona.html

Barnvelder: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGA/Barnev/BRKBarnev.html
Barnevelder should be a darker chipmunk than the Speckled Sussex, SS should have beige/pink legs (should although hatchery quality can vary) and the Barnevelder appears to have more dark yellow

Speckled Sussex: http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Sussex/BRKSussex.html

The hatchery should have some pics as well.

I do think you'll be able to tell them apart mostly....hopefully they used Ameraucanas in the Olive Egger combination so the beard/muff will be a dead give-away if they come out looking chipmunky or dark.

If you can't figure it out, definitely post a new thread here, and likely somebody can help.

Thank you. Everyone will know when we get them. Almost everyone thinks with those breeds we should be able to tell. Cannt wait.
