Help with breeds please

[Bowen Mt Chicken]

Hi we have hatched some chicks out, the breeder gave us some barnevelder, welsummer, RIR, Australorp, and 1 egg that hatched was from our Australorp hen and a silver spangled hamburg which we now think we identified, we can identify the RIR, but the welsummers and barnevelder, I have no idea which is which, also do you think we have picked the mix breed one okay, thank you so much for helping

In the picture of the backsides of the three chicks, the one in the middle I think is your welsummer pullet.

Thank you, we are hoping one is a pullet, can you tell this from the colouring of it and are the other 2 welsummers as well, but boys? Thank you so very much for your help, it's very exciting watching them grow

Coloring & eyeliner. I guess it is early and probably hard to tell breeds and especially genders at this age. I guess I only saw one that looked like a Welsummer. Girls GENERALLY have a distinct V on the top of the head and 'eyeliner' around their eyes. This does not always hold true.. here is a picture of my welsummer cockerels at day old after they hatched. Top is an EE and two of the other chicks are cockerels. You can see how the tops of their heads don't have a 'definite' V. HTH!
