Hi! I hope you can help me figure out the breeds of these chicks. After 2 years of debating, our municipality suddenly approved chickens 3 weeks ago, so I immediately ordered chicks: McMurray's choice layers, which were supposed to be 15 females which will lay different colored eggs; plus a bonus chick. One was DOA, but I think it was a pale color like 4 surviving ones, so I think the mystery chick is still here. I am completely new to chickens, so every time I read about another breed I think I have that chick. I'm going to try to post a set of pictures for each of the 9 or 10 breeds we have, and hope you all can point me in the right direction.

My daughter calls this one the ugly duckling. It started out with very nondescript grey down, and is now developing an interesting speckle pattern.

I call this one the pterodactyl. She arrived with bare patches on her chest, and her feathers are still very patchy and odd compared to the others. I wonder if she's the same breed as the two orange ones I'll post next, but her body is skinnier and taller, and has less of a rump, than those two.

Then there are the two orange ones. I wondered if they were Rhode Island Reds, but now their wing feathers seem to be more variegated than that.

There are two that started out as classic yellow chicks, and their wings seem to be pure white. Leghorns?

Then there are two of these. They started out with light but definite stripes of pale brown on white/yellow on their head, but they're getting harder to tell apart from the yellow/white chicks.

My daughter calls this one Tiger. I have no guesses.
