I am new to owning chickens. We bought a farm two months ago and 12 chickens came with it. My daughter instantly fell in love. Yesterday we got 18 one day old chicks. I have a few questions about my older chickens and my new chicks. I'm not sure what breed any of our chickens or chicks are (one of the new chicks is a Barred Plymouth Rock Rooster. We specifically ordered him) Here are some pics of older chickens and my new chicks.

Welcome to BYC! It's great to have you. Wow! Quite the assortment of breeds there. Not sure about that box of chicks, but a lot of your older birds appear to be Brown Leghorns.
