Help ID mystery chicks

[3KillerBs]

At first glance I can say that the barred one has a single comb so it's not a Dominique. It's hard to tell, but if the feet are white it may be a Cuckoo Marans but if they are yellow it may be a Barred Rock.

The black and yellow ones are something mottled -- Ancona being the most likely.

Not breed but pretty sure this one will be a cockerel…

could be barred rock

I was calculating we probably have two cockerels at least. How are you telling about this one?

The black and yellow ones could also be mottled Java, but that's more rare. I think Tiger is a Barnevelder. The yellow ones that had light brown stripes on their heads could be Amberlinks, and I think the one with the light chipmunk stripe on it's head is an Easter Egger. I'm not sure about anyone else!

Does Murray McMurray carry Mottled Javas?

I didn't see them in the online catalog, but have work to do before I can pull out the hardcopy for better browsing.

Males have double barring (more white) and in theory have a larger white spot on the top of their heads, also looking at comb size. I had 2 barred rocks, 1 male 1 female and this one looks more like my male did.

but it’s also too early to tell so quite possibly still a female, but just a guess

I have no idea! I have a mottled Java, and she looked like that as a chick, but I was just guessing.

The feather-footed one is probably either a Cochin or a dark Brahma.

 

[pipdzipdnreadytogo]

First one shown individually I believe is a Barred Rock. The comb is wrong for a Dominique and skin color is wrong for a Marans.

Second is an Ancona. I don't see anything else in McMurray's catalog that looks like this.

Third appears to have a single comb, so not a Brahma. I believe that's a Black Cochin as I see yellow on its feet.

Fourth, the ugly duckling, I believe is a Silver Spangled Hamburg. A shot of its comb would help to confirm.

Fifth and sixth, the pterodactyl and the orange ones, are all Red. Those first feathers often have some black speckling like that in hatchery-quality Red breeds. As for their actual breed, I'm inclined to say that they're Rhode Island Reds, but the way you describe pterodactyl as skinnier makes me wonder if she could be one of McMurray's Red Leghorns? New Hampshire is also a possibility for any of them, but those tend to be paler.

Number seven, I believe you are correct in guessing White Leghorn.

Eight, I believe are Easter-eggers. The green legs kind of pushed me in that direction, but a view of their combs would help to confirm.

Nine, Tiger, if that's the same chick visible in the background of breed eight's picture, is a Gold Laced Wyandotte. The comb is incorrect for a Barnevelder and I don't see that breed in McMurray's catalog anyway.

I believe ten and eleven, the chipmunk striped babies, are Easter-eggers as well. Ten appears to have a pea comb and eleven has puffy cheeks.


I think I got all of them, and to the best of my knowledge.

It will be easier to know for sure on the trickier ones (especially the Reds) once they've grown more and are more feathered in, so please check back in a month or so with update pictures!

Thanks for the tips on loading photos. My internet connection is very poor, so it's taken a while to get pictures to upload. Here are 3 playing in front of the coop.

I wonder if this black and white one is a Dominique?

Barred Rock

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.

Second bird is a RSL

This one has a dark chipmunk stripe on her head.

And then there are two with light chipmunk stripes:

Easter Eggers

 

[cherrynberry]

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.

Not a Leghorn with those green feet.

Second bird is a GLW.
