Hello!
Hoping to have some help identifying chicks, I know it can be tricky if not impossible but still worth a shot.
They were suppose to be one of the following breeds:

Black Orpington
Jersey giants
Austrolorps
Rode red island

But I have some serious doubts... No matter, chickens are chickens and eggs are eggs, but if anyone out there has any idea of what breed they might actually be I would really appreciate it! The only thing that might not show in the photos is that two of the black chicks have feathers on the sides of their bare legs.





Thanks!
 
No RIR's. Could be Buff Orps, but that's a lot of white coming in...they might be White Rocks or simply will fill in gold later. Time will tell.

Your black birds legs are dark so could be Australorps and/or Jersey Giants or even Black Orpington. Hard to tell. Australorps and Jersey Giants tend to have more white on their faces as chicks, while Black Orps don't so much nor do Black Stars, which they could also potentially be Black Stars.

I was also thinking they look awfully light to be Buff Opringtons... my husband would be thrilled if they were white though!
