Hello! So our family recently moved to the countryside and decided to get some chickens. We have four chicks right now, (hatched them from the egg, planning on getting more later for a second coop) and they are all 3 weeks old today. We think we have an Americauna (fluffy cheeks, blue egg), a light Brahma (tan wing feathers, feathered feet, toe number abnormal), and a Barred Rock chick (white dot on head, started to show barred rock-esque feathers), but there's one chick we can't identify. Initially, we thought it was an Australorp, but it's got wing feathers that are more medium brown than black. Nothing we found said Australorp chicks can be a light brown, so we haven't been able to make any more progress in the identification. The markings are still similar- rings around the eyes, a white chest, lighter around the "elbow" portion of the wings. We just can't figure out what breed it is, and there doesn't seem to be that much extensive information on identifying chicks that we've been able to find. Our guesses at the other chicks are, well, guesses, so if you happen to recognize them as a different breed than what we've put, that would be greatly appreciated! Our mystery guy is in pictures 11-15.
