Too early to tell these two breeds?

[jabronee]

Hey all,
I got these chicks on Thursday, March 17th. At that point I believe they were already a week or so old. I believe they are all pullets as well. Anyway, I have some theories as to what breed they are (Wyandottes for the black ones and either Buff Orpingtons or maybe Red Sex Links for the yellow/red ones). I have 5 of each, let me know if you need a better picture to get an idea on the breed.

Looking forward to hearing what you think!

I think the yellow/red one is a Red Sex Link. The other one is either a Wyandotte or a Black Australorp. Good luck with your chicks and they are adorable!

I think you have a Black Australorp and maybe a Red sex-link (could you get a better picture of the red one?).

Oh and

No problem, here's a few more pictures of the yellow girls:






I hadn't thought of Black Australorps but that seems pretty likely too. My only question is that they are starting to get white feathers. Do Black Australorps have any white feathers? Here's a better picture:

Hmmmm.......I'm not sure if it's a Black Australorp anymore as they shouldn't have white feathers. And a Wyandotte should have more of a laced pattern, so I'm not at sure on the black one. I'm almost positive the yellow/red one is a Red Sex Link.

Yes, red sex-link and australorp. My lorp chicks also have those white feathers...I think they may lose them in the first molt?

Yes. My aussies had a few white-tipped feathers when they were small like this, but they didn't last. They are all black now.
