Need Help Identifying what kind of Breed

[Cloverleaf Farm]

Then I would say that the white one is the white leghorn

, the black one is probably a cuckoo maran (they look VERY similar to barred rocks) , the two yellow ones are your New Hampshires (lots of production red birds are yellow when they are babies), and the two brown ones are your welsummer and brown leghorn. We'll be able to help you with the difference in those two when they are older (as they look quite a bit alike for a while).

They sure are cute. Definitely looks like a Barred Rock or Dominique and a RI Red or PR. The little brown one sure looks similiar to a Partridge Barred Rock I have in my brooder box right now.

Who knows, half the fun is watching them grow and scratching your head every morning saying, "I don't know WHAT breed you look like today".

Cloverleaf is right. The Wellies and the BL look almost identical at that age. I have two of the New Hampshires that are about 8 weeks, and your two are identical. The Maran is a Maran, not a Barred Rock because a Barred Rock would have more striping that this one has as I have noticed in comparing other Marans to Barred Rock. The White Leghorn...well, it is what it is. You have a nice mix to start with and you will get a wonderful variety of eggs too when they start laying.
