New hatchery assortment of chicks...HELP!

[Mathew544]

I purchased an assortment of "standard breeds" from a hatchery. Any idea what these are? They are 3 weeks old.

im not completely sure. But the yellow one looks like a leghorn or, brahma. Try going to a farm store and see if they have a chart of chicken breeds including pics of hen, rooster, and chicks.
Hope I helped!

The first 3 are some crested breed. Maybe polish, but I am not sure.I dont know about the last one.

I agree top 3 are a crested breed most likely polish. The bottom looks like a production red/gold comet/ cinnamon queen; they are a red/gold bird that is bred for production.

I agree the top 3 look like Polish, but I do have to ask if the middle white has feathered legs?

If any have feathered legs I would say silkie...also do they have 5 or 4 toes?

 

[Mathew544]

None of them have feathers on their legs. I'll have to check their toes and see if they have 5. After doing some research last night I think the first three are polish chicks. Yay! They seem like very interesting chickens. And good egg layers!
