Some chicks were more cooperative with the photo-shoot than others...
I think this one's a Lavender Orpington.

The eggs for Brenn and Lu look similar and so do the chicks. They look kind of like Maran eggs, but less so than Frida and Henri's eggs, not to mention these chicks look nothing like Frida and Henri... They look rather like Lavender Orpingtons but the eggs were the wrong color and I'm pretty sure I already found my 3 LOs. So, I'm also stumped on this one.

I'm stumped on this one. The colors look like a lavender orp, but the egg color is wrong...

So, I have just hatched 7 mystery chicks mixed in with 3 pure bred Lavender Orpingtons (10 chicks total). For fun, I am trying to figure out the breed of each chick and would love any input folks feel like offering (or feel free to just enjoy watching me struggle :) :pop).

I have pictures of the chicks and the eggs they came from. All mystery chicks had an Ameraucana father, the options for mother include: Ameraucana, French Copper Maran, Cream Legbar, Buff Orpingtons, Polish, Red Star Australorps, Easter Egger, or Olive Egger (yes, I know these last two are mixed breeds...). There is also a slim chance of a parent that is something else as the lady I got the eggs from has already added a couple extra hen options to the original list as she remembers them...

So, without further ado, meet chicks A-L (minus G and J which were eggs that proved to be infertile). Each gets their own post because this is a lot of photos...

I'm honestly stumped on this one, none of the breeds she listed have chicks that look like this (at least on the Meyer Hatchery chick ID page). Would welcome ideas!

I’m guessing Marans mama for this one!😊

Lavender Orpington again? El was my last hatchling and is a bit smaller than her/his siblings.

Based on egg color, I'm pretty confident this is a Maran x Ameraucana cross, making it an Olive Egger?

The third Lavender Orpington? I'm pretty sure on this one given the pink egg (doesn't show up great in the pic).
