I know it's super early, but I picked these lil ones up today. I couldn't pass them up! I know one is a Silkie, and I have ideas about the others, but I wanna see what you guys think! I got 10 of 'em. I originally had 6 in my box, but it looked like so little, so I kept adding more.

Yeah, thats the only one that I *do* know what it is! Hard to mistake it when it's got the black skin, and 5 toes!
 
1. Silkie, 2.-5 I think are cochins if they have single combs and bhrama if they have rose combs. 6-7 don't know but they're the same breed. 8?, 9?, 10 welsummer, brown leghorn or maybe EE (since there is no standard for EE and they come in chipmonk color it is a possibility without colored legs or puffy cheeks.)
 
I forget, do silkies have 5 toes? If so, then I vote the first chick is a silkie. Numbers 2, 4, 5, and Maybe 3 look like they Might be d'Uccles - numbers 2 and 4 for sure. I am not sure on the rest; but I'd wager that 6 and 7 are the same breed - maybe black copper marans or OEGB? Numbers 8 and 10 Might be EEs?? And number 9 perhaps an OEGB?? I am not an expert by any means, so most of this is guesswork. Hopefully someone else will weigh in with some other more educated guesses for you.

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm on the same page with guesses. I'll have to wait until they start feathering!

AGAIN! I just got all my other girls figured out, and then I go get more assorted breeds! I must be nuts, but my fiance encourages my chicken obsession. So is that a win-win, or a lose-lose situation? haha. I THINK from reading on here... Silkies have 5 toes, but they can have 4, but the black skin was the giveaway for me. S/he was the only one left! I looked through all the chicks!
 
These are my guesses :
1 ~ Silkie
2 ~ d'Uccle (Porcelain) looks like a cute lil beard on it
3 ~ d'Uccle (Mille Fleur) [possibility of Brahma]
4 ~ d'Uccle [possibility of Brahma] (plus 3 & 5 they do not seem fluffy enough to be cochin to me)
5 ~ d'Uccle [possibility of Brahma]
6 ~ OEG [slight possibility of d'Anvers]
7 ~ OEG [slight possibility of d'Anvers]
8 ~ OEG
9 ~ OEG
10 ~ OEG
