Hello, I ordered assorted brown egg layers from Meyer Hatchery and I am unsure of the breeds as this is my first flock. Any help would be appreciated . TIA!
 
Lets see...
First ones australorp.
Second one is barred rock
Third one is buff orphington
Fourth one is an Easter egger
Firth one looks like a RIR or production red.
 
I agree, except Easter eggers don't lay brown eggs.
I suspect this may have been an oops, bonus or substitution chick.
None on the list of what*should* be in this assortment have the characteristics this chick is showing


When you purchase our Brown Egg Layer Assortment, you will receive at least three (3) different varieties of the following breeds of chicken: Golden Buff, Black Australorp, Buff Orpington, White Rock, Barred Plymouth Rock, Partridge Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, Delaware, Golden Laced Wyandotte, Buckeye, Black Jersey Giant, Speckled Sussex, Cuckoo Maran, Welsummer, New Hampshire Red, Dominique or Silver Laced Wyandotte

I know an Easter egger isn't a brown layer. It was most likely a mess up or bonus. That hatchery is really generous with bonus chicks, I've heard.
