Hi. I'm new to this forum and new to raising Chickens in general. I know a lot about horses but not so much about fowls, so please excuse me if I sound really stupid when it comes to this. Anyways, my mother decided she wanted to raise chickens for eggs and such so we came across this place that had chicks for sale. The lady breeds them for 4-H and other showing events and we just randomly got a few different ones. I'm not sure what kinds I bought. I have an idea but I'm not too sure. If someone could possibly tell me or at least guess, it would be very much appreciated.

Pictures:


Reddish Chick
- light brown/reddish color, white wing tips, feathering on legs

(Possibly a Rhode Island Red?)


Weird stripped-yellow Chicks:
- one is a darker yellow, the other is a lighter lemon-yellow
- both have brown stripes outlined with black and some patches on top of their heads
- a slight feathering on their legs, not as much as the red and black one

Because of the feet feathers I would say Brahma but I am unsure.
