"Hatchery Choice" Egg Layers - Breed Guesses

[Painted Calls]

Wait.. could #3 be like a wyandotte?

3 is a Wyandotte.

I think #3 is a Wyandotte too! The yellow could also be an olive Egger (had one that looked just like that!) Rest resemble EE, one of my faves!

Alrighty!! thanks everybody for your help. unfortunately we've lost four in total now. all appeared to be EE's except one almost solid black one i didn't picture because i knew they wouldn't make it. Shipping was rough on them. I've mixed up some sugar water for those remaining and they're all perking up now, though.
So looks like the counts are:
2 wyandottes
3 suspected leghorns
4 easter eggers
and 2 of what might be those sapphire gem things? Not sure, they're a kind of blue-gray with a darker triangle on their backs. They don't look like the rest. But i'm excited to see what they grow into

Aww I want more chicks! That’s a great random mix of breeds! Different colored hens and different colored eggs! Have fun with them!

we lost one while i was gone :/ it looked like they got crushed, so i moved the heat lamp down.
but for the others, i’ve got pictures!! sorry for some of them, they didn’t like getting their portraits done…

Can't see #1.

#2 looks like a buff orp.
#3 wyandotte.
#4+#5 are EEs.

They are all too cute.

howdy!! this morning we picked up my order of chicks from the post office, along with my order of ducklings. They were a day late and a bit dehydrated, but otherwise active and healthy. We know the sexes and breeds of the ducklings because the hatchery (Metzer Farms, cannot recommend them enough!!) listed them on a slip even though i just ordered mixed ducklings, but we're not totally sure about the chicks. I'm not gonna lie, I've only ever had waterfowl before, so I don't know much about chicken breeds, but they all look the same to me at this stage...
A friend suggested that the majority might be Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas, but they weren't sure. I'm pretty sure that two of them are Silver Laced Wyandottes, but that's about it. Ordered the "Hatchery Choice" Egg Layers from Hoover's Hatchery, if that gives you any ideas.

I see SLW and EEs!

 

[9chick2]

All of those except #2 look like EEs. Maybe that ones a Buff Orpington?

Thats what I though too

 

[BleuSaphir]

EE are so adorable!

 

[Bigtom Turkey]

I see SLW and EEs!

You are close, GLW, not silver.

They're about two weeks old now and getting feathers in, so i'll probably update this thread tomorrow with pictures, if not for improved guesses then for y'all just to look at them. lol
