Hi, I'm new-ish here (but quite the lurker

) We got our first nine chicks today from Ideal, and I'm pretty sure I'm hooked!

I'm pretty sure on the breeds of most of these, but wanted to get some verification... and show off my babies of course

This is a white leghorn

Buff Orp

Red Cochin... I think?

Australorp... she is SO sweet and docile already.

Golden laced Cochin... again, I think?

I THINK this is a Red-Shouldered Yokohama?? It's the tiniest of the bunch, but lively... my daughter has adopted this one as "hers" and named it Speckle

This is where it gets tricky... I THINK this is a Golden Lakenvelder... she's big, mean, and red, so my husband wanted to name her Kathy Griffin

Black Cochin?

And this is an Easter Egger/Ameraucana, right?

Glad to be here! All of the information here has gotten me through the harrowing pre-chick-ownership period and my first day with chicks

i think the last one looks more like a golden lakenvelder compared to the one you think is a golden lakenvelder i think that ones a EE the rest of them i think your right on but not sure
 
Thanks - these breeds are all what was in my order so I'm just guessing based on what was in my order. I really wasn't sure between the EE and the Lakenvelder, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see

I'm no good at breed identifying at all (I'm a newbie at chicks) but I just wanted to say that I got three Australorps from Ideal on Wed and all of mine are THE sweetest out of the bunch. They are so friendly and curious and my personal favorites,lol.

The one you suspect is the Black Cochin looks just like some of my chicks (except the leg hair) who I *think* are Barred Plymouth rocks (I'm still having trouble telling my black sex links from the barred rocks) Its one or the other, I know that much lol.


Congrats on your cuties!!
