Hi, I ordered a straight run "Rainbow" mix of 25 this spring and they are growing up. Any idea what I have here?

Black and yellow.



White and grey

Only one of these white and grey models.

Leghorns? Hard to see but one has some grey wing feathers.When two chicks get up in each others face like this acting like they are going to fight are they roosters?


Rhode Island Red?

Leghorn? No grey wing feathers on this one.



Grey wing on white one.

Golden neck and breast with brown body feathers.




Thanks for your help!!!!!

^^ they look like leghorns. I have pullets that do that too. Not a lot of red on them so I'm thinking they are pullets. How old are they?


Rhode Island Red?

^^ RIR looks like a good guess.


Leghorn? No grey wing feathers on this one.

^^ looks leghornish

How old are these chicks? I think you should see more red on those whites if they were boys. The RIR looks like it has a decent amount of red to its comb.

I would say all are Easter Eggers except for the RIR and the white ones. The combs look a little small to be leghorns even if they are hens (my leghorn hens combs are fairly large at least) but then again that depends on age. If they are leghorns they are definitely pullets, no way a leghorn rooster's comb would be that small even if they're really young. And the getting in each others face isn't only roosters, it's any chickens that need to figure out the pecking order and who is more dominant.

Hi Everyone! Thanks for your replies.
They were born, er I mean hatched April 10th so a little over 5 weeks. Thanks for all the info. It would make sense, assuming the red are RIR brown egg layers, and the others are EE, to send some Leghorns for white eggs.
Sweet! Looks like I have a fair amount of hens then!!! I was worried I would have the opposite problem!
