Hi. I am a new member and new to raising chickens. I obtained six chicks that I was told are Australorp chicks. None are black. Any idea what type ?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Yes, you have more than one breed.

Definitely not Black Australorps. Do you want to try and get them to correct your order, or at least offer some compensation for the mistakes they made?

I got them at a farm supply store in Massachusettes

Some stores are really good about knowing what kind of chicks they are selling, and some are not. Apparently that one was not

Welcome! Those look like EEs, and possibly red chicks of some sort.

What makes you think Easter Eggers? I wasn't sure enough of any breed to make a guess yet

Red Sexlinks, the best layers of brown eggs.

The one with speckled wings makes me think EE.
