These aren’t buff orpington chicks right?

Are you supposed to trim their tiny little nails?

You do not need to trim their nails.
Even as a adults, often not necessary.

Not orpingtons. I will also Guess easter egger.. but there are a million other possibilities. Where did you get them?

That white ones nails look weird & a little overgrow. Put a rock in there for them to step on and file down nails until they get outside to scratch around.

Those definitely look like Easter Eggers or Atleast a mix with EE

I got them from cfc Virginia, it's a farm store down the road from me. They also had easter eggers, Rhode island reds, and barred rock. So a definite chance I accidentally grabbed some EEs

Out of all those breeds, Easter egger is the only breed your chicks could be

Definitely not a Rhode island red right? I've heard those guys are louder and can bully other chicks so I'm concerned for the 5 lavender/jubilee orpingtons I have coming next week.

RIR's have single combs. Your chicks dont
