New arrivals at the local farm supply store. No one working there knew what breed any of these were. Any ideas?

pictures:

on the device that has the pictures you want to upload click the little landscape square. then click on "choose file" and track down the picture you want. It took me a long time to figure out how to upload pictures.

Impossible to say, but there are 3 or 4 different breeds or varieties of chicks in that bin. I think I see some blue ones with beards, which probably means there are some Easter eggers. Beyond that I don't know.

It would help if you got close up pics of each individual breed. @JedJackson from the head I think the blue/gray one is a silkie.

I'm looking at the last picture, up top, the blue one second furthest from the right. It has a striped brown chick right behind it. Maybe Silkie, but I see no signs of a crest, and they don't look like bantams to me. But who knows? It surprises me that no one at the store has even the faintest idea what they are since they were the ones that ordered them. On the other hand, those chicks look very healthy and active, and that is a very good sign.

To buy or not to buy, that is the question! If it were me I'd probably try to get better answers from the store, but I'd probably buy anyway. Who can resist?

It would be good to separate the chicks for photos- the ones that look like others you could post their individual photos. Wait for replies. THEN post another group that doesn't look the same etc. and do that gradually so you don't drive any of us nuts. Juzst too many in a cluster and not in a post that makes it easy to see them

I think the gray ones with white markings on their face are bad quality slws.

The black ones with the yellow on the face are Australorp

Looks like there are some Lavender Orpingtons

Possibly some Welsummers and Barnevelders
