Hi all, my name is Lisa and I have 6 chickens, 2 dogs, 2 cats, a cornsnake and tortoise. I also have 2 week old chicks of different colours and breeds I think, that's why I'm here to see if someone can help x

Welcome to BYC. So many breeds of chicks have the same colors and patterns that it's almost impossible to tell until they feather out at around 4 to 5 weeks.
Some clues to watch for, are skin color (check bottom of feet) leg color, crests & beards, and type of comb. Hatchery birds sometimes don't conform to the norm but these are still good clues.
