Hi. My name is Cali and I just joined. I came into possession of some very dark brown eggs. I did not have an incubator at the time but got the idea in my head I should hatch some eggs. So I bought an incubator when I got more eggs, except the second batch were mostly light brown. I went to tractor supply and, even though the eggs were refrigerated for 2 days, I gave it a go and hatched 6 chicks, parentage unknown. I have 2 that I think look like RIR chicks, Gerty and Buffy, one that is very light yellow (Lemony), feathers are coming in white, and 2 that have no idea, they are silvery colored chicks, one with a black dot on its head and one with a Y-shaped black marking on its head and three black stripes on it's back (Gabby and Inky) and one very intriguing chick, deep brown head, black and brown, looks like a Welsummer but with black legs (Rachel). I was wondering if anyone has any ideas about Rachel. Picture attached. I really liked the dark brown eggs so I did some research and purchased some Mystic Marans at the same time so I could raise them all together. One of the Marans chicks is solid black. No cream throat like the others, I was wondering about that as well.

Thank you. The number of breeds is bewildering. I never knew...
I am assuming they are all hybrids but the black legged brown chick was a nice surprise
