new to chicks with feather question

How long before they are their final colors? Not for sure what I have! Got 2 mixed assortments. Been combing through pictures but chicks are hard to identify.

It depends on the breed but most show their colors well by 8 weeks and should be complete by 6 months with no juvenile feathers left.

Once your chicks are fully feathered (4-8 weeks), people experienced with the breeds should be able to ID them. Just take pictures of any you aren't sure about and post on the What Breed/Gender board. FWIW, even adult chickens change with a molt. It's a matter of degree -- dramatic changes in the juvenile stages, subtle changes later.

Great thanks!
