Please help me verify the breeds of my chicks!

I have seven chicks and I will write above the picture what they were sold to me as. They are all two weeks old and I am most interested in knowing about number three since it was sold to me as a Buff. Thank you in advance!!


1. Black Copper Maran

2. Barred Rock -- This one is growing much slower than the other Barred.

3. Buff Orpington -- I'm really beginning to think that this one is not a buff...

4. "Ameraucana" aka easter egger. This one is tiny and doesn't seem to be growing as fast as the others.

5. Buff Orpington (really hope this is one!)

6. Barred Rock

7. Rhode Island Red

The light colored ones sold to you as Buff Orpingtons are New Hampshires, I got a couple.

Aw man! I feel played. I told the breeder that the only thing I care about is getting two Buffs. Are New Hampshires friendly?

Number five looks like my BO, and number three has to many speckles to be a NHR

@Gray Farms do you think you can help these lost souls including mine

New Hampshire are very friendly heat hardy and good layers. I had a trio of them that we called the berries

The top NHR Strawberry (who is my avatar) was the leader and fought bravely against a coyote and she was a hen, she was also backed up by the third in charge, Blueberry, that is what I like to believe

They can be aggressive.

I never found this to be a problem in my small flock, I also had an older hen that kept them in check until she went broody

That gives me some hope! I love that you named your trio after berries, that's too adorable.

My NHs had lots of spackling when they were feathering out. Every chick feathers out differently.
I have pictures on my old phone, but not this new phone.
