Not sure if this worked!Updated pictures and info 5-2-14! What are we?

What did you order, and from where?

The EE is a rooster. No one else looks roosterish at this point. 

Can you get a profile pic of the blue bird standing naturally? Andalusians are long and lean, Orpingtons are round and fluffy. 

I'm not sure on the white birds, but one of those things is not like the others. Bird on the left side looks to have dark legs?

That last bird does look mixed, I'm not thinking of any breed that matches that coloring....


The blue one I order through Myers hatchery, (received on 3-10) and was either a Orpington or Araucuna but one died so wasn't sure which one this was.
The other ones came from TSC because I'm a sucker for baby chicks in a store looking sad. They were in the Araucuna bin, (EE), but I'm quite sure that they aren't that. I will go get better pictures today. My daughter wanted to take the pics, and they didn't turn out so well.

The whites look more like Rocks than Leghorns, except for the dark legged one.. They're definitely not Araucanas, but could still be EEs, as EEs can looks like anything really..they don't have to have muffs, although they're usually seen with them.
The EE is definitely a roo. The rusty color in the wings screams that.
The blue..I agree from that angle it does look Andalusiany, but if it's between Ara and Orp, I'd go with hatchery quality Orp.
And the last one does look like some kind of mixed breed. Maybe EE. With the distance from the camera, my tiny iPod screen and not being able to see legs, it even reminds me of a Brahma mix.

If the last one came from a bin at TSC, she could be a Dixie Rainbow or similar.

Better photo of the blue chick would help--especially showing size/shape and ear color. White = Andalusian, red = Orpington. Doubtufl Ameraucana since I don't see any beard.

Is Dixie rainbow a breed or just a name for a mixed bird? I will check on the ears tomorrow and let you know the colors. I paid quite a bit for both blues, Orpimgton and Araucuna, and your correct I see no beard or muff. They are 2 different things, right?

A Dixie rainbow is a mixed breed.

Do you know what breeds are mixed to make them? Also I noticed today that it's legs are green.
