Hello everyone, i just picked up 6 chicks from tractor supply,2 white leghorns,and 4 pullets from a different batch the leg horns are about a week or two older then the others and by now are feathered out but one of the pullets is changing from yellow and fuzzy to white and black with feathers on its feet,i was wondering what breed it could be.and will my three 2 year old hens accept the chicks in to the flock
 
Hi and welcome!
Pictures would be helpful in identifying your chick(s) - you might want to start a thread in teh "What breed/gender" forum. As to integrating your new chicks into the existing flock - that is a process you won't begin undertaking until the chicks have grown considerably, so you'll have plenty of time to read up on that by doing some searches on the forums regarding that topic.
 
Thanks i will try putting up a pic the leghorns are about 5to6 weeks old and are im the big coop in a sectioned off part so they get used to each other

Welcome to BYC!

Congrats on the new chicks! Definitely post pics on our What Breed section of the forums for help with breeds...

Enjoy your new babies and welcome to our flock!
 
That looks like a light brahma in the middle and a roo behind her.
You shouldn't have trouble adding 6 chicks all at the same time to 3 adult hens. The more the merrier and the safer for the little ones.
