I picked up chicks and some that I preordered were swapped and no clue what I got. I also ordered a prairie bluebell which is a mixed breed so can look like anything and not sure which one it is or if I even got it. Emailed the person I got them from and she said the lavender ones were probably sapphire olive eggers, but one has dark legs and beak one has light legs and beak.... The chipmunk one she said may be speckled Sussex. And red one she didn't say. But I am not sure if any of this is accurate. So any guesses?

Pics are from the day I got them, a couple weeks old and now around 6 weeks. The lavender ones I only have pics from day 1 and a couple weeks old.

Incredibly cute chicks by the way!! :love :love :love
Thanks. They are adorable I just wish I knew what I had. I can only add a limited amount and REALLY wanted jubilee Orpingtons, but those were swapped. So want to know what I have to decide who to keep since I am getting hatching eggs of the breeds I tried for but were swapped.
 
Not a Speckled Sussex. They do not have gray.
I’m not sure about the red one.
ok thanks. Looking up a speckled sussex chick I didn't think it was one but sometimes pics on the internet don't match up to what you see. someone said they got a prairie bluebell from the same person and hers looked like that so maybe that is the prairie bluebell? but then I have no clue what the red is unless they gave me 2 of them
