I already want more, but living in the city I don't have the space for more and the neighbors would probably gang up and run me out of town. I would need to buy a small farm or something more rural first.

i live in an urban/suburban subdivision, and my neighbors have been tryin to get rid of me for years thanks to my very vocal silkies. lmao. for some reason, my 'hens' keep crowing... i swear every reciept says hens, but i kept getting roosters. the woman that sold me her cross-bred chicks at the KSF was the only honest one, said she had no idea what they would turn out to be, and they both turned out to be wonderful hens. you'll end up with more chickens be sure of it. just start giving the neighbors some fresh eggs when those days hit you, and you'll see the change in attitude. no steriods, no drugs, no disease, thems some delicious eggs! (and you know, around my county; there's a lot of two- and three- story chicken coops)

I second dandydoodle - variation between young chicks of different breeds is much less than between older birds. In fact, a week or so pre-hatching and it's pretty hard to distinguish chicken foetuses from those of other bird species! The guesses of the previous posters all sound sensible. But wait a few weeks and once they start to feather up you'll have a much clearer idea what they all are!

Also comb type once it shows. The Barred Rock could just as easily be Dominique. Rocks have single comb, Doms have a rose.

Cute chicks!!!!!!
I'm relatively new myself but these are just my guesses. Just guesses.
1. New Hampshire(I know everyone's been saying its an Orpington but she looks just like my NH, who was mostly yellow for at least a week!)
2. Rhode Island Red
3. White Rock?
4. Barred Rock?
Anyway, just guesses. Good luck!!!!!!!
