the brown ones kind of look like brahma's but i don't want to talk to loud alot of chicks look like brahmas to start

sorry the pic i was looking at the chicken was sitting and i forgot that Brahmas are fully feathered most of the time their are allot of chickens that are brown but the light brown your chick is showing is a bit more rare what type of comb does it have or is it too Early to tell and how many toes do they have?

normally bigger chicks are more dominate or are males or the smaller chick may be a bantam of some type or the bigger chick is a bigger breed or the smaller chick may just be growing slow or may be sick(doubtful they look very healthy) i have personally seen all of said options happen

yes this chick is definitely dominate. I'm just hoping shell be a she and be team leader. the feathers are still coming in, the newer feathers is a brownish color. not sure of the comb, still small. still yellow.

time will tell right now i can list about 8 breeds that it looks like and be wrong as the feathers come in they sometimes change color and design you may also what to ask the person you got them from if possible

The tanish chick seems like the leader. And it grew way faster then the rest. Im hoping not males.
