I think I received the wrong chicks??

Australorps have white in their wings as chicks. I still think it looks like and aussie chick, but I have never had Lakenvelders so I can't compare the two.

Edited to say: I think the Lakenvelder comment was directed towards the partridge colored chick. I looked them up on feathersite and they certainly don't look like the black and white chick.

The white wing feather on the chick that I think is the Australorp, is actually turning black. Just the tip is white now.

I think the chick in the last picture is a silver laced wyandotte. I've compared them to many pics, and I might be wrong, but I know that is one of the chicks they carry. The ones I have do have the 2 thin stripes down their back and they don't have black beaks and legs.

The middle chick is partridge color, absolutely no white on their wings and that is the only one I'm really unsure about now. I've looked up some pictures of the chicks that have been suggested, but I just can't be sure. Whatever they happen to be, they are so sweet, I'm sure I will enjoy having them around.

Thanks for all the help
 
Just went to look at my australope chicks they have darker legs than your #2 & 4 Their legs are dark then it lightens when it gets to the toes. I know mine are australopes as I hatched them from my own flock.

number 4 looks more like their coloring except for the legs

Just a word? when I ordered chicks, 8 different breeds 3 of each, I printed off pictures and posted them above the brooder. The only ones I was concerned about were the Dominiques and Cuckoo Marans. They look alike except for their combs. One rose the other flat. The Cuckoos have more barring than the Marans now. It's easy to check that they're all in, I just count ok 3 of these, 3 of those, etc. etc.
