Our new chicks - Help us figure out what they are please?

[RedChickBarn]

We bought 10- 2 week old chicks today. The guy at the store said that there are 4 breeds, but the only one we remembered was Americauna, but we're not sure which ones are the Americaunas - we think they are the gray/black ones with the bars on the wings, but have seen different pictures of the A's that don't look anything like ours. We have:




Here are some pictures of them:

A small gray one with feathered legs, 5 toes


One of our creamy yellow/white chicks


Our brown with black wings (brown specks on the tips of the feathers) and white around the face and neck


Looks like some of our others, but has a white spot on his (?) head


A black one that looks similar to the others but with a white chest and white on the face (a black australorp maybe?)


Some of our other little guys/gals


Thanks for anyone that can help identify our chicks! We've searched through pictures online and at BYC, but there are so many!

Our babies are much older now - 6 weeks old It has been a month since we got them and boy, have they grown!

There is one that I'm starting to think is not the "she" she was supposed to be - The comb was much darker and growing much faster than the other chicks (although he/she is the only australorp in the bunch, so it was hard to compare). This one is acting more like either a roo or a mother hen! When a couple of our barred rock hens go at it, either the br roo or this one will jump in the middle of it - depending on whose closer it seems.

I'm I right that she is a he??? We already have one roo that we're sure of, so either way we'll be happy!

So proud of them though - they are figuring out the ladder up to their roost! It took a couple days, but I think they've got it

Yeah i noticed i can't believe no one replied. I found it when you updated it lol you are very welcome

The first isn't a silkie. It has normal feathers, and doesn't look to have black skin. Is the second bantam or LF? I'd guess Leghorn or California Grey.

it has 5 toes what else has 5 toes?

I should have said it isn't a pure silkie. Could be a mix. Did your feed store order chicks from Privett by any chance? A lady posted not too long ago asking the breed of a chick that looks like yours. Feed store insisted it was a silkie, but like yours it had normal feathers. Those chicks came from Privett.

Oh, other 5 toed breeds are Faverolles, Dorkings, Houdans, Sultans. Doesn't look to be a mix of any of those.
