Help With Breeds

I have 3 chicks with different characteristics. We got these from tractor supply. They were in bins labeled, speckled Sussex, cream legbar, and blue laced red Wyandotte’s. They couldn’t tell us which was which, and I’m still not very knowledgeable on IDing chicks yet.

The first two pictures are speckled Sussexes. The next two are GL Wyandottes. The last one is not a Legbar. I'm guessing it's an Easter egger of some type.

I agree. Last has a rose comb which is interesting. Chick down doesn't look like a Wyandotte though... Definitely update on this one!

We're they purchased as straight run?

I believe both the speckled Sussex and cream legbars were straight runs. I purchased 6 total. 3 of which look like pic 1/2, 2 that look like pic 3/4, and only 1 that looks like the last. I can get more pictures.

Your photo quality is fabulous. Just dropped by to say that. <3

Do you think it could be a rose comb Brown Leghorn?

I do not. They're very uncommon and McMurray is the only hatchery I know who sells them and they don't supply TSC I suspect it's a Wyandotte with funky chick down or perhaps a designer mix of sorts!
