Golden Comet or Starlight Green Egger?

[Chxlove]

Just acquired a few new 7-8 week olds to my flock and I'm questioning the breeds. I was told the left 2 are Starlight Green Eggers, middle is a buff Orpington, next is unknown or possibly Golden Comet, and last is BR which is obvious. The buff looks nothing like my 2 buffs so I don't think she's that, maybe a cross. And the SGE's look actually like Golden Comet pullets...kinda the middle one too since they all have the white. That darker brown one I also can't figure out unless that's the SGE. Looks a little Americaucana ish too. Hmmm.

also in this last pic below, the left one looks cockerel-ish with that big pink comb already, but supposedly TSC or FF said they were pullets as day old chicks.

You are going to have to wait until they start laying to know if they are golden comets or STEs. The "buff orpington" is also either a STE or a GC. The unknown chick is a Rhode Island Red.

Oh no! Aren't RIR's pretty aggressive?

I have a RIR and although she is the leader of the pack she is definitely not aggressive.

It really depends on the individual chicken and the line they come from. My RIR is friendly towards people and her flockmates. She's low on the pecking order and doesn't boss the other chickens around, unlike some of the stories I've heard. Hopefully you also got a friendly one!

One of my RIRs was really sweet. The other is a bit of a grump, and she does peck. I wouldn't say she is aggressive though. We all love her to bits.
