They're here! They're here!

3 looks like a Black Australorp.Very nice stock. Where did you get em from?

#1 looks like many Gold Sexlinks, but not sure about that one or the mottled looking one.
#2A and 2B are both SLWs.
If #4 has a flat (rose) comb, it's a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. Similar breeds at that age are Welsummers and Speckled Sussex, both having single combs.
5A and 5B are Barred Rocks if they have single combs, if flat comb, Dominique.

I think #5 is a black sex link. The boys have the yellow dot on the head the girls are solid black.
#4 may be a dark Cornish, or speckled Sussex
#3 may be a Colombian wyandotte
#2 SLW
#1 may be a New Hampshire Red
But don't take my word for it!

LOL! It much easier to tell when they get older. My Dark Cornish X White rock chicks look like SLW chicks.

The problem is that many chicks look similar at this age.

If you ordered a black sexlink male, then the last two could be that. If you ordered pullets only, then they are BRs. I have hatched many a BR here. They are easy to sex at hatch most of the time. Those have dark leg fronts, small headspots and are really black-black. That says BR pullet to me. Looks like a fun mix you have!

The dark ones with the chipmunk like racing stripes are your wyandottes: I have 5 that were very similar.

[/img] In this picture are my slw and one barred rock - mostly black with a big yellow dot on her head.

I would listen to speckledhen if she know's about BR's. It would also depend on what hatchery you got them from too. Not all hatcheries carry the same breeds for their assortments. But it really is hard to tell when they are babies since so many breeds look alike when babies. I mean this isn't a good pic but check out the chick or mine. Her mother is a Dark Cornish and her daddy is a White Rock, but she totally looks like a SLW chick. She's about three months old now and looks like a Cornish in the markings except that the black parts are a pale almost blueish gray and the parts that would be brown are white. But her body build is more like the rock. Here she is as a chick.

Here she is now...

#5 looks to me like a male Barred Rock - but I could be wrong.

Quote:
No, that is a pullet. Small, defined head spot, dark legs, dark down color rather than frosty looking. Sexing rules for barred breeds are not 100% accurate, but if that was in my coop, I'd be planning to keep her.
