The Atlanta Meet Up Chicken group gave away over 1000 chicks today - I took these 3 home and am not sure of their breeds. Please help me figure it out! They are from well known hatcheries and all should be large fowl. Thanks!

Chick 1

Chick 2 (Has Lightly Feathered Feet)

Chick 3 (I am guessing this is an EE because of the cheeks?)

Hi! You took great photos! I love the one of your cat & chick and the one of the chicks together. I'm not sure what the first two are and I agree the third could be an EE. Your chicks are adorable, BTW.

I did some searching to see if I could find what breeds you may have. These are just guesses. I hope this helps some!

For the black/yellow chick:
Black Australorp
Jersey Giant
Exchequer Leghorn

For the black/white feather-legged chick:
Maran

The first one looks to be an Ancona or Exchequer Leghorn. There's just not enough black for an Australorp or Jersey Giant. The second could be a very poorly feathered Cochin or a feather legged Marans. The third does look like an EE.

You are right. I put Australorp there because maybe if it was one it had poor markings. (I don't know if chicks can have poor markings though?) I didn't even think of Ancona. So, I change my guesses on the 1st chick to be Ancona or E. Leghorn.
