Once upon a time to me a chicken was a chicken, what type is this?

[fcoop]

So, after having chickens at my children's centre for the past few weeks, we have decided that we are going to keep 3 chickens.

After spending lots of time researching so that we were definately up for the gig of being full time carers for these chicks, we have gone out and bought the whole shebang...however, i dont know what sort they are...

i think they are pretty standard, but you all seem to have different types.. please help

thanks in advance...

Sorry it is showing up now.

I do not have an answer for you I am sorry but I am sure others will advise.

Please note that I'm a newbie here too, however, I have 31 chicks right now and yours looks so much like mine. Mine are Buff Orpingtons. Could be wrong, just my guess.

It seems so much lighter than my buff's were as babies. Do you think it could be a Leghorn?

I hope you'll post more pic's as it grows and more feathers come in.

Today the chickens are two weeks old... an updated pic... two of them are a little darker than the other one... and i suppose a little more developed.

Sorry pic isnt the best, but it shows the feathers (so far).

Thank you to everyone so far for your answers!

Leghorn? Plymouth rock?? Just wild guesses, I am no expert and do not own either breed....

This breed chard has lots of pics of both chicks and mature birds (click on the abbreviations under the breed name.) You can look through the breeds that occur in white and see what you find. Lots of other good info on the differences between breeds as well.

I'm no expert either, but they look like leghorns to me
