Ok, here is my guess

#1 Sumatra
#2 Silver Laced Wyandotte
#3 Buff Wyandotte
#4 Black breasted Red Cubalaya
#5 Exchequer Leghorn
#6 Barred Cochin
#7 Buttercup
#8 Black cochin

VERY NICE!

I thought Sumatra too but now I'm thinking La Fleche for 1
2 I agree I think that is a SLW
3 buff orpington
4 dunno
5 ancona
6 dunno
7 maybe buttercup hadn't thought of that!
8 dunno

Actually it looks like it isn't a Sumatra or a La Fleche. Color is wrong for a Sumatra and the head and beak are too refined for a La Fleche. I suggest you check out Feathersite.com, go to the chicks section and look at the different breeds. It really IS a mystery chick!! I'm stumped!! Let me know what you find out.

Black sex link?

Looks like #6 is a black langshan! maybe..

 

[AshleyFishy]

Yup looks like #1 is a plain old black star

Feathersite is a great website isn't it!? You ended up with a nice variety of chicks! And post pictures when their older so we can see what they look like feathered out!

By the way, I only got 1 chick out of this last hatch

Good thing I had the week old chicks to give it the smallest chick as a buddy! Today they are both going in with the rest of the group. I went ahead and got on Pips&Peeps list for Blk & Blue Ameraucana eggs

Now I will need to work on culling down to my best chickens to make room!!

I've had plenty of chicks that looked like #1. From mystery chicks I have raised they have all been Ameraucana's. And one of them stayed completely black its whole life and still is and the others got soe funky and cute feather coloring. And alot of people say Ameraucana's and EE's all have those chubby cheeks but NOT all my purebreed ameraucana eggs hatched with that "muff" or beard. It could be a Black Star but it can also be an Ameraucana

Good luck figuring out what it is!

Update!! Last night I had three blue orpingtons hatch, two splash and one more splash is zipping right now! that is six out of six that went into lockdown!

My barred olive egger, white crested black polish, mystery polish, EEs and salmon fav did ok. I had two EEs out of four hatch, both of my white crested black hatched (one turned out to be a white crested blue!) my 1 mystery polish did not hatch, my barred olive eggers three hatched clean out of five (one was born in a blood egg and didn't make it) and 1 salmon fav hatched clean the other I'm still working on. Also my stargazer chick past away on the 12th and one of my barred olive eggers that didn't hatch right passed away the 12th.
