Identify chicks. Rhode Island Reds??

[Dfarago]

My neighbors chicken “disappeared” a few weeks ago. She reappeared a few days ago with twelve chicks. My husband and I have been taking about getting chickens but nowhere near us is able to sell. (California Poultry ban. We are outside the quarantine zone. But everywhere that would sell can’t)

So we are now the proud parents of four adorable chicks. But we have no idea what kind of chickens they will become. The owner doesn’t know what breed they are either. “The mom is the brown one.” Was literally her response when I asked.

I attached pics. Thank you for your time.

Mixed breed, barnyard mix, whatever you want to call them.

I'm thinking they're probably a mix. They sure are cuties

Anyone have an idea of what kind of mix?

Post pictures when they start to feather good, and folks on here might be able to give a guess
And when they're around 6/7 weeks old, post more pics if you're unsure of their gender. Some people on here are really good at judging their sex

Can you get a picture of their mother? It's hard to guess the breed of a chick, especially if it's a mix.

Also, keep in mind the hen who hatched the eggs did not necessarily lay them......it is not unusual for multiple hens to contribute to a clutch
