Help me ID these TSC chicks?

This is what those two look like at just over two weeks. I assume they'll get prettier; they can't hardly get uglier!

^Ditto!^ But I was wondering if I could convince my TSC to sell me only two more so dh wouldn't freak out as much as with 6. Hmmmm....

I have 33 - 4 & 5 week olds that just moved to the newly finished second coop and 6 - 1 week olds in the brooder.

I was going to vote Sebright because I have two just like that from TSC in my brooder right now.
 
Don't want to bust anyones bubble, but my sebrights have VERY defined lacing right from the getgo, much smaller(even at 4 weeks) and not such long necks. That looks like it's going to be a LF or large bantam, not something as small as a sebright!! I'll try to take some pics of my 3 week olds(silver sebrights) tonite and post them for you.
 
Thanks, TheRanch.

They're pretty big. From the feathering, I guess they're right about the same age as the rest of mine, three weeks or so. The only one bigger than these two is one of my Easter Eggers, who's huge. They're thinner than the rest of my flock, and look sort of like doves in profile. Their feathers are coming in black at the necks today while still whitish-speckled on the bodies and wings. They don't really look laced at all. Oh, and they're more skittish than the rest of my birds.

We're having fun watching them develop.
 
Jules - The ugliest chick I've had turned out to be a beautiful IMO, bantam delaware roo. The first picture isn't great, but he was RELLY ugly and scrawney!

Now he is such a good little rooster. He doesn't like me to pick him up, but when I do he sorta churls at me.

I sure hope so - those are gorgeous! And I plan to keep a couple of roosters, so if they turn out to be roos, no big deal. They're scrawnier and less juicy than my red roos will be anyway.
