I have just gotten eight little chicks, and I'm having a difficult time telling them apart! I've figured out three, but here are the breeds: Salmon Faverolles White Cochin Black Cochin Dominique Milli Fleur D' Uccle White Silkie Buff Laced Polish Ameraucana Brahma Sebright I put ten because we have lost two
I suggest you go to Feathersite and look at the photos of the chicks for those breeds. Some, like Brahma and Ameraucana, come in different colors/patterns so you need to know which color you should have. Some have specific combs so you can get a clue there. Some have feathers on their legs. Some have specific leg colors. You may get clues based on size. Some you may just have to wait on.

Hi Glad you could join us here! Sorry to hear you lost two of your chicks. You have some great advice and a good link to check. Wishing you the very best of luck and enjoy BYC
When they are 6 weeks old you can post individual pictures of them at "what breed or gender is this."
