I had a plan. I had a great plan. I was going find 4 Plymount Barred Rock pullet chicks, locally, and raise them in my backyard.



And then I got impatient. I stopped by our local TSC on a Saturday, and they had the chicks right there. Some were yellow, some were gold and some were black. So I picked out 6 chicks, somewhat at random, and took them home.

Soooo, any guesses as to what I have? At this point I'm hoping for 2 pullets.

I'm pretty sure chick #1 is a Cornish Rock, because it's already much larger than all the other chicks.

I think (or maybe just hoping) that Chicks #2 and #3 are PBRs.

Numbers 2 and 3 might be dominiques.

No. Dominiques are rare-ish.

If they came from TSC they are going to be a cheap assortmant (not the rare breeds) so they will be plain ole garden variety Barred Rocks.
I have 2 myself, that came from TSC. They aren't even very good quality BR's, I think one is definitely a mutt. Anyway, they both turned out to be cockerels

I picked out some chicks from TSC thinking they were all barred rocks and one was a dominique. The dominique is growing a rose comb.
 
4, 5, 6 look like the Red Sex Link chicks I bought at TSC in March. At 4 weeks two are the reddish color while the others are more gold...one has a lot of white feathers...hoping that is not a roo.

I just bought Barred Rocks and they look like your photos.

Good luck with your chicks.

Thanks everyone for your help. It's been fun watching these guys get bigger over the past couples of weeks, and trying to figure out what I have.

Now I need to get started on their perment home.
