Rare Breed Chicks

[MrsHair]

Good Morning all!

I just received 10 baby chicks from Meyer Hatchery and I am having a very difficult time identifying them. I was wondering if anyone my have an idea. They are all females and all are rare breeds. Thank you in advanced

Well, the rare breed collection can include:
"Ancona, Easter Egger, Andalusian, Wyandotte, Dark Cornish, Delaware, Dominique, Jersey Giant, Brahma, Partridge Rock, Light Brown Leghorn, Hamburg, Sussex, German Spitzhauben Appenzeller, Buckeye, Sumatra, Cochin, Polish, Marans, Campine, Lakenvelder, Faverolles, Buttercup, Welsummer, Exchequer Leghorn, Sultan, Ameraucana, Blue and Lavender Orpington, and others as they are added to our rare breed offerings."


and based upon this:

I think the first one could be an austrolorp,
The second will need some time and feathers.... Unless those legs are pinkish. If they are then its a speckled Sussex. If yellowish, then maybe a welsummer.
the grayish could be a whole bunch of different things.
the yellow with the fuzzy legs is probably a cochin
the next is another 'maybe' Sussex. It could also be a welsummer.
The last one, do they have fuzzy legs too?

Thank you. The last one does not have fuzzy legs.

I'd wait for feathers. Its so much easier to figure out breeds when there's feathers.

I see a yellow chick with fluffy legs, I’m going to say cochin. But more time will tell
