I got these from our local feed store. I have 4 total.
1 is a sapphire gem
2 is a Plymouth rock
1 my husband picked out and don't remember what he saw on the tag.

The person who checked us out said the 2 Plymouth rocks were not Plymouth rocks he said he's not sure what they are but not what was said to be.

I know they are super young I'm in no place to b able to say what they are at such a young age. Anyone can tell?

Chicken #1 - husband's unknown chicken - Need help ??
Chicken #2 - Plymouth rock ??
Chicken #3 - Sapphire Gem ??

Do these seem correct to you

I'm not sure if I see puffy cheeks on number 1. Could be an EE if so. A lot of chicks have the chipmunk stripes, so this one will have to be a wait and see until they feather out.

2 and 3 both have the white headspot on top of their heads, so I would say they are barred rocks.

3 has the right color for sapphire gem. It too will need to wait until it feathers in.
 
Oh goodness, they are ADORABLE! 1 could be an Easter Egger, but also a brown leghorn, Welsummer, Speckled Sussex, & a few more have the chipmunk stripes. What color are her legs? (It’s hard to tell in the dim light of the pic).

2 & 3 I think you have id’d correctly. Our Sapphire Gem looked just like that!
 
I thought the guy said number 2 was a silver laced something or another..
He might have said it, but I'm sure he was wrong.

Chick number 2, black with a light spot on the head, looks like a Barred Rock (aka Barred Plymouth Rock).

That color is also found on some other kinds of chicks that grow up to be black with white barring, but Barred Rocks are so common you probably do have one.
