Random chicks-help with breed ID please!

With the fluffy cheeks and extra toe I will guess Salmon Favarolle.

Good score!!

Did you get sexed or straight run?

Well, these were the hatched extras at Meyer...they told me they were all female in the bin, but who knows.

Those are fav babies, iv'e seen enough this year to be pretty darn sure.


Im telling all my ladies ya'll think they have freak toes.

Lol!

Silkies have black skin.

And this little chick does not have black skin, so it’s not a silkie, For sure!

G is a Faverolles. Favs, silkies, Dorkings, Houdans and Sultans are all 5 toed breeds.

Thanks! I think it is a faverolle, too, based on some chick pictures I looked up once I saw that was what BYCers thought!

 

[Acre4Me]

Any other opinions on A, B, D, E, and F in the pictures above?

It appears that G has been identified as a Faverolle due to coloration and the very obvious 5 toes.

Pretty certain that C is a polish of some kind

Was told at the hatchery that A and B are likely bantams, but not sure which breed.

All are *supposed* to be females...

Here is a best guess on C: a Buff Laced Polish. The head pouf certainly does help with id on this one, particularly since it slight colored.

Best Guess on D: Frost White Legbar. This is the only one on their website that has that brown/tan mask on the face, which is its most identifying feature at this age.

Yup that looks like a buff laced Polish. They are very pretty as adults.
The poof interferes with vision making them act neurotic. Keeping it trimmed helps a lot.


On D I was about to guess a red breed. Looks like you got that one figured out.

A looks to be silver laced. Since it's a clean legged bantam I agree with it being a Sebright.
B looks to have green legs so Easter Egger.

They don't sex the bantams......so um yeah there could be boys.

The fully yellow has darker legs so I am guessing white rock.
Could be an off colored buff orpington too.

What a great set of birds!

This is chick "A". I'm really not sure that this is the right ID for it, but it seemed to be the closest chick picture match on the Meyer website (and some Google pics of this breed of chick). One reason that I don't know if this is correct is because the person at the register indicated that this chick was likely a bantam, but none of the bantam pics are similar to this one. Since I don't know what (other than size) might indicate a bantam on a chick, this is a guess on my part, really.

It could be a hamburg.

I always forget that they look laced when the feathers start growing.

The ones I had were awesome layers of medium sized white eggs.
They are very active birds and fly very very well.
