Need help Identifying Breeds!

[Shadow3]

That chick reminds me of these (I have two that are identical) which I think are Black Sex-Links based on pictures of day old chicks from various hatcheries, but I really have no clue. I'm just starting to see some brown on the wing tips (3rd picture) so hoping this will narrow down breed when I post a set of their pictures.

Aww they are so cute!! Mine just started having signs of more white in it's feathers. Maybe it is the same as what you have

I'm hoping since yours are older (by a week) you'll get a definite answer before I do. I'll be keeping tabs, lol.

Where did you get yours?

Where did you get yours?

I found it in my yard actually. The black one that is and the older one was given to me. The last 2 I just got from someone who raises chickens but I think they aren't 100% sure what breeds hatched haha...they told me one is a Ameraucana and the other is a cream leghorn but I'm not sure they are correct. The brown one with the stripes came out of a brown speckled egg.

They are all different

Here are my guesses.

1 Black Sex Link
2 Some kind of penciled feather patterning (I am not sure 100% of what breed he/she could be)
3 Looks like a Silver Grey Dorking chick (does it have an extra toe?) if not it could be some type of egger
4. My guess would be Blue Andalusian

This thread might answer our questions about the black chicks we seem to have in common. It sounds like yours maybe a roo since it has the white barring. Mine could be, but the white feathers haven't grown in yet.

Just checked it out and yeah that sounds about right! He must be a roo! He is pretty brave and chased my dog around. My dog is afraid of him

That's hilarious, but poor puppy. I'm not brave enough yet to let my dog loose with them. They're still so small even a curious/playful nip can do quite a bit of damage. She's a little too interested when they start fluttering and running around in the pen.

Yeah, I am training them so that when they get older they will protect my chickens and so far so good. My smaller dog wants to boop them on the head with his paw gently and he loves them.
