I'm new here! I ordered a rainbow pack from Meyer Hatchery and have had my chicks for over a week...and I've been trying to figure out what they are. I sure wish they sent a packing slip with them! :) Maybe y'all can help me out...

The only one I know for sure is the rooster I ordered...my buckeye named Rocky.
Here's Rocky (at least I'm 90% sure he's my roo! He's the only one with the right coloring and the darker tip on his beak to be a buckeye):


I suspect this is an Ameraucana...or Easter Egger...how to tell the difference??




No idea what these beauties are...I have 4 like these...such a pretty bird she's going to be!




And I have only one of these, no clue what she is...every time I think I've got her figured out I find pics or something that doesn't fit...she does have some white on her belly which is hard to see here...




Thanks in advance for the help! It will be fun to watch them grow and see what they turn out to be! :)

Does it have muffs? If not it is a beardless ee.

#1 red sex link I think
#2 is for sure an Easter egger, hatcheries don't have purebred Americans/auracanas
#3 I have no clue, looks like its going to be an interesting color though!
#4 barred rock
