Help! What breed is this chick?

[Chickie McNuggs]

I had gotten a few chicks from a farm supply store but I can't remember what one of the breeds were. I thought maybe if I came across the name, I'd remember it. So I looked through my chicken books but I had no luck. Right now they have black and yellow fuzz. I can tell you based on the card i read that it will grow up to be mostly white and they produce brown eggs. They are a friendlier breed and I'm pretty sure they are dual-purpose as well. They are both heat and cold hardy. Anyone have some ideas? I will include photos. Thanks.

Columbian Wyandotte?

They look to dark to be those but throwing it out there.

These look like Silver Sebright Bantams. They will lay, white to tinted eggs.

What comb type do they have? If rose, I suspect silver Sebright.

Can you get comb pictures? If we're assuming card is correct they're likely Columbian Wyandottes Silver Lakenvelders would also look similar but typically they would already have slate legs and also differ in comb type

Do you know where your farm store orders their chicks? Any posters or anything hanging near the chick bins that might indicate it? A symbol or text on the corner of the card? Knowing what hatchery they may have come from can narrow down the possibilities.

Silver Sebright chicks tend to look more silvery than this, with more of a marbled pattern in their down. These chicks also don't look like bantams to me based on their size compared to the reddish chick in the background. And I'm not seeing the patterning I would expect to in their wing feathers if they were Sebrights. Personally, I don't think that's it.

Columbian Wyandotte chick down can vary quite a bit from light to dark, but is generally tones of white and dark gray or black without the patterning that Sebrights show, so that certainly could be what they are. If the card said brown eggs, this is most likely it--barring a mix-up, which isn't unheard of from feed stores, of course!

@Rhodebar Lover is very good at identifying the more obscure feed store chicks, maybe she'll add her insight here a well. Edit, whoops, she's already here

I agree with your points as well! If we knew the hatchery, it would be much easier!

Hoovers hatchery. The price label on the box they came home in says Tried and True Breeds Female.

Maybe an ancona?

With that comb it appears to be a Silver Lakenvelder
