Need some help ID these chicks - UPDATED WITH OLD PHOTO

[remist17]

Bought some pullets from a hatchery and sent these as warmth. Any idea what they are?

4 weeks later

IDK, but they are really cute

I love the chipmunk look...
Hoping this will bump you up to get some help.

I'm not sure. what color are their legs?

 

[akcountrygrrl]

What color are their legs? Do they have feathered legs? Extra toes? What kind of comb do they have? There are quite a few breeds where the chicks start off "chipmunk" colored so a little more information helps narrow the pool down some.

I call it regular legs.... yellowish tanish color. No feathers on the legs. These are a week old. I bought them as day old chicks. No comb ot speak of at this point. They are starting to get some feathers on the wing tips they are the same brown color as shown but with a little bit of black in it. Correct toes no major items that would flag as not normal. Lighter tan on the underside

They came with 3 buff orph,2 Austrolaps and 2 delawares. I would assume this is a full size breed as they are the same size as the other chicks.
Did some searching on the hatchery site... could these be welsummers?

The could also be brown leghorns I had 2 that looked like that.

Good point forgot about checking the leghorns.
How are their disposion. We are looking for some calm chickens for my young daughter thats why we got the ones we have. I am thinking of keeping a rooster to see if we can hatch out some eggs later. I guess I will just need to grow a few out and post its adult photo to compare.

I have read that leghorns are kind of flighty and nit necessarily social with people, but, I have heard people on here say theirs are not like that. I'm sure some of it depends on how much you handle them as chicks. I would hand feed them treats a lot so

. When they associate you with food that always helps. Try some plain yogurt, my babies love it! I had to teach them it was food, but now they attack my fingers!

Take some new picture of the chicks standing up and in good light. There are different shades of legs, so it helps to actually see them.
They could be Leghorns, they could be Welsummers, they could be Old English Games. Doubt they are EEs though.
Where did you get them?
