newbie breed help

Hi there-

Just got my first three chicks from the local feed store. We were supposed to get a New Hampshire, a Barred Rock, and what they call an Araucana (though I know this will be an EE). They were all hatched 5/1/12. The problem is the BR, which is feathering out brown and and black. She/he has the beginnings of a single comb and black legs and beak. Here are a couple photos. Any ideas on what this little guy is? Or am I wrong, and this is just how BRs feather out?

My barred rocks feather out black and white. I don't know if this is a barred rock, and if its not I don't know what is

Black sex link pullet. Barred rocks and black sex links get mixed up all the time at feed stores and TSC. I paid for 8 black sex links from TSC. I got 8 barred rocks.

As the others said, Black Star.

Is the NH red in the first pic's background? If so, it's not a NH Red. The others are as stated, EE pullet and a Black sex link pullet.

The brown one is the Araucana. The Black one will be the Barred Rock. I have about 30 Araucana's and they all started out with the brown heads and feathers.

No barred bird in those photos. Black sex link is your best bet, as stated. They're great birds, good layers.

Black Sex Link, huh? Good to know. Yes, the brown one is the EE - it started out as a chipmunk. The one that is supposed to be a NH started out yellow and now has that brown that I figured would get redder - do you think it's something else?

It's probably a Production Red or Red sex-link.
