Hatchery surprise babies - Guesses???

[scbatz33]

I have 6 of these...

this one is the only one with a brown spot on the side of it's head..

Three like this

One little fat one...

Two with the big white splotch

Two buff - one more light yellow...

One little more dark....

Any help would be great...I'm thinking barred rocks or sex links, buff orps, maybe partridge rock???

I would say that the first one is a RIR, the black ones are Barred Rock, and the last ones are Buff Orpintons! They sure are cute!

So, I got 1/2 a doz RIR, 1/2 doz barred rock and 2 BO. That was what I was thinking except for the RIR.....In the photos online, they look more like partridge rock chicks.

Do all 6 of the dark ones have a white splotch on the top of their heads?

No, only 2 of them have the splotch.

I would say that you only have 2 BR's then.

I apologize for my sense of humor in advance, but I say. "Hey you got chicks, cool"! Surprise, surprise, surprise!

The black ones with no spot could be
Black Australorps

I got my order shipped on the same day as yours. I got 4 of those red ones, I don't think they are RIRs.....they have a darker richer color to them. They feathers coming out do look like a Partiridge Rocks. I have been calling mine Red Devils...lol....cause the first few days they were terrible about grabbing other chicks by the legs and dragging them around. I have them separated now....they are actually endearing themselves on me, and becoming my favs....whatever they are.

I got some of the black ones too, but only one has feathers coming in like a barred rock....the others look more mottled and one solid black.

I was leaning toward Australorp on the fat one - it's head looks so much like my oprs do.... - I'm thinking that for the 4 of them. The two splotched ones are more likely than not Barred rocks
