Hey all! This is my first batch of chickies. Any clue what they may be? Got 'em from our local Big R.




Thanks!

The two chipmunk marked birds could be a number of different breeds - what color are their legs and what sort of comb are they developing?
The black with a dot on the head is a barred/cuckoo bird of some sort - Barred Plymouth Rock is the most commonly found at feed stores, or a male black sex link.
The brown/red, black with no head spot and white birds could be a few different breeds - leg color, comb type, etc *may* help narrow them down.
Photos of each bird in a standing position can help - though at this young age some are a bit difficult to differentiate from others as far as breeds that can start out looking quite similar.
 
The black one with no spot looks like my Black Australorp did when she was that small. From what I can tell anyways. And like she stated above the black one with the spot looks like my Barred Rock did. Two great breeds. Not sure about the other ones though.

My Barred Rock and Black Australorps when they were that little. You will be able to tell if the one is a Barred Rock because she will start to do this......
