Those are definitely single combs.

I think you have gold sexlinks. (Also called red sexlinks, Gold Comets, ISA Browns, Red Stars, and a variety of other names.)

They grow up to have feathers that are mostly red or gold, with white in the tail and a few other places; and they are good layers of brown eggs. They are nice chickens, but not Wyandottes, no blue, and not laced.


It looks like white to me, but it might be splash. It can be hard to tell white from splash in photos, especially when they are just starting to grow their feathers.

But I am pretty sure that label was wrong.

NOOOOOOO!! I will hope 🙏 they are wyandottes but jeez what will I do if they are ISA browns. Just my Luck oh well. We will be for sure in 2 or 3 weeks. Come on trudy and Maisie be wyandottes :fl :barnie
 
Well after much thinking we decided to keep the cinnamon queens and have some beautiful layers. I am going back to my original incubation plan but moving it back a bit. I also renamed them to fit the breed hence forth known as.....drumroll please......pumpkin and cinnamon! I am going to update the original post too.
Look @Quarterhorses1 we breed match again. @Idaho Chicken Bungalow guess I'm doing 2 incubations after all

Sooooooo............ yesterday we had to take a hour and a half trip to  Rural King to get some stall fans and gates as they were much cheaper over there. I had got my first chicks there and was excited to see what they had even though I wasn't going to get any. So we shoped around and then we came upon the chicks. I am planning to do 2 incubation one with bantam blue laced red wyandottes and seramas, and another one with porcelain and mille fluer d'uccles, the first hatch in mid to late August, but then I saw the chicks and the buff Orpington chicks and the sapphire gem chicks and I got chick fever 😆. So after much thinking and choosing we picked out 1 buff Orpington, 1 sapphire gem and 2 cinnamon queens. We finally got home at 9:30 at night and I quickly stopped by the farm and got my supplies and I just bought chick feed for my pullets who are just getting off it so I had some. I cleaned the feeder, waterer, and brooder plate and quickly set up the brooder (aka my bathtub 🤣). They slept under the heat plate all night and this morning are eating, drinking and being chicks. They are eating Purina start and grow and there water has electrolytes. Probiotics and nutra-drench. So I broke my first rule of chickens and impulse bought, but I don't regret it. I said no more large fowl but I bought 4 and I love them. If you have chicks join in, this can be a raise-a-long where you can share pics and ask questions about your chicks. I will be updating this thread with pictures and info about them as they grow.
