Hi,
Can anyone help me figure out the breeds of these chicks?
I just picked them up from the post office today. They are from Hoovers Hatchery and are listed as their Assorted Colored Layers. Supposed to be all females.

This is what they say could be in the mix: Americana, Olive Egger, Prairie Bluebell Egger®, Sapphire Olive Egger™, Starlight Green Egger™, Midnight Majesty Marans®, French Black Copper Marans, or Cuckoo Marans.

I didn't include photos of all 10 chicks simply because some of them look the same.

These are all assumptions from looking up all the specific breeds that were listed. When it comes to just "Olive Egger" that can throw guesses off. The only one I am most confident on is 6 with the Americana face markings. It is too young at this point to identify the different breeds since they don't have adult feathers. Most chickens have chicks that look alot like chicks from other breeds. Definitely black/gray ones.


Chick 1: Sapphire OE
Chick 2: Sapphire OE
Chick 3: Sapphire OE
Chick 4: Starlight EE
Chick 5: Starlight EE
Chick 6: Americana
Chick 7: Cuckoo Maran
Chick 8: Starlight EE
