Six new chicks - question about breed.

[HarborGirl]

We just got 6 beautiful baby chicks to add to our flock.

They are 5 days old today - in these photos.

We were told that two are Buckeye, two are New Hampshire Reds and two are Delawares.

I believe these are the New Hampshire Reds




I'm thinking these are Delawares?





So that leaves Buckeyes? But they don't look like the Buckeye chicks I find on Google. Also, are their feet ok???

The bottom chicks look like Salmon Faverolle chicks to me.

The reddish chicks would be the Buckeyes. The New Hampshire chicks would be yellow as are Delaware chicks.

Oh! So then I had them all wrong!

Thank you!

Favorelles are beautiful. I'm excited!

And, yes, their feet are okay.

I agree your bottom chicks look like Faverolles--beard/muffs, 5 toes and feathered legs. I agree, those are beautiful birds--what a nice surprise!

 

[HarborGirl]

Yes I'm very happy to learn that they are Favorelles! And also that their feet are okay!

Thanks you both for the info!

Can't tell you what the middle chicks are...sorry! You'll know when they feather out what you've got, but "generic yellow chick" is descriptive of a lot of breeds.
