I just got 3 new chicks yesterday They are supposed to be 2 Americanas and a buff Orpington I don’t think one is an Americana. Can anyone help me

Black one is a barred rock. Excellent bird.
Call it an Easter egger not Americana. Feed store ignorance.

Told them I did not want barred rock. My last ones were not that friendly.

If it isn’t black it isn’t barred rock. It looked dark brown on my screen but then two people mentioned it that’s why I asked. It could definitely be a Welsummer.

I looked that up. Could be. As long as it is not a rooster I am good. What do you think the light one could be if it is not Orpington ? I’ve only ever had Rhode Island reds barred rock and one Easter Egger so I’m not familiar with all these other ones. But my friend the owner of the feed store apparently steered me wrong lol

Found these pics online of 2-3 week old Buff Orpingtons. Maybe wait a few more weeks?

The other two could definitely be a variety of Easter/Olive Eggers, it will be much easier to tell when they get their adult feathers in!

Took new pics. Could this be a Roo? About 3 weeks old

Could this be a Roo ? supposed to be an Easter egger hen. So much bigger than my other ones.

Looks like it could be a barred rock. FYI, if it’s spelled anything other than “Ameraucana” it’s not-usually they’re Easter Eggers. (Here’s an article about the difference)
