Hello! We have a new batch of chicks this year and several of them came from an "assortment" at the feed store. Can anyone tell me what breed these young ladies are?? Thanks!!

Age? Where’d you get them? They look to be EEs, except maybe the black one. They’re beautiful
Thank you!! I just adore them all, they all have such unique coloring (and personalities)!

They were born around Easter Weekend, except for the white one, she appeared to be about week old when the rest were brand new. We got the ones in question from Cal Ranch...I believe they get their chicks from Hoovers?
 
So not yellow at all? I assume she just has dirty white skin, which would make Marans a likely breed!
No, off-white is more accurate, not yellow. I wondered if she might be a Maran! I was guessing #5 was a Welsummer too! I also wondered about #2 being an Amberlink but wasn't certain on her. Thank you for helping, I still have much to learn about all the breeds!

You're welcome and good luck! I wouldn't necessarily rule out Amberlink, but I have seen a couple Starlight Green Eggers layers recently that look quite similar, so that's the direction I took :) Update with egg colors! You'll have quite the variety I suspect!

We will definitely have a variety! We have 12 chickens total, 2 that are just at laying age (a RIR and a Sapphire Gem) then 10 babies of all types. We let the kids pick them out and have bantam brahmas, silkies, a black polish crested, and the 5 I posted here... it will be a fun summer and a unique basket of eggs on the counter!
