New to chicks - my guesses on breed seem right?

[lorriemaxx]

My intro is on the intro page, but I wanted to put some pics up and see if you knowledgeable people thought I was guessing right about what I picked up at the feed store. First the ones I know: my new EE chicks. I got them today and am guessing they are two or three days old.

My others are about two weeks old. I'm guessing these might be BOs.

I think these are black sex links. Looks like I'll have a few extra roos to deal with.

I don't know what these two are but they sure are pretty. Mostly black with brown bands on their wings so far.

Could these be Australorps? Or black sex link hens?

Do you think he is an EE as well? He is a roo, and he is adorable. His wings have the most beautiful bands...

Finally, I have one chicken that is HUGE, but his wings are nowhere near as developed as the rest of the birds. Did the feed store have a meat bird mixed in with their stock?

We are working on the coop, and I hope to post "in progress" pictures soon. It is way too cold in CO to have the babies out anytime soon, so for now they reside in the house.

Thanks for looking!

The third picture down looks like Plymouth Barred Rocks to me!

And yes, the last one looks like he might be a meaty.

Congratulations on your chicks! They're very cute, and I hope you have fun watching them grow up. Chickens are wonderful.

I also think #3 is a barred rock!! Love your EEs! They look so much like mine!!!

Agreed on the Barred Rock, and the last one looks like probably a Cornish Cross meat bird.

First one is a Buff Orpington, I think.

I don't think that one is an Australorp. Unless the color in the photo is way off, it is not black enough.

Instead of a meat bird, could the last one be a white jersey giant? Big and slow to develop sure fits the description. I can't see if the legs are feathered. If they are feathered, maybe Brahma?
