The color Is wheaten, I have no doubt, The breed *looks* like Cubalayas, but Wheaton can be alot of other breeds...

That is the first thing that popped into my mind when I saw the 4 weeks old pics!!!

They are very cute. Maybe you have a new hybrid on your hands...bantam bald eagles.

No, I thought MY little chicks (I have two exactly alike) looked like baby American Bald Eagles!

JUST adorable! And BEAUTIFUL! What cute little faces! Those eyes hold so much expression. Whatever they are, they are going to be really, really cool to have - it is obvious!

Wow, that breed is hard to get good pictures of the chicks... I agree with the coloring, thou the Cubalayas coloring of pullets is really confusing to me (after being on another site that showed A LOT of coloring of pullets).

I guess I will have to let them grow out for a while and see what they end up looking like

Definitely not a breed I was expecting... but I am full of different chicks this year.

and as long as I don't have A LOT of roosters I am cool

If they're cubalaya, the coloring indicates they'll all three be males.

Yes, that's what I thought, but I didn't want to break the bad news ^^

It would be most helpful if Privett listed their breed selection on their website. Unfortunately they do not.

If you could get a good profile shot, showing the chick standing on a flat surface, we could see the structure of the tail (one of the most tell-tell attributes of the breed!).
