Wanna play name that breed?

[MotherOfChickens08]

Got these cuties yesterday at a local feed that had a huge line out the door. The lady gave them to me so fast I just had to go home and research who is who. Here’s the list of breeds I got. Help me match the correct chick breed.
Ameraucana, welsummer,
Olive egger, silver laced Wyandotte and cuckoo marans. Thanks for playing along.

* I could have 2 and 4 mixed up. No way to be absolutely certain on those until later.

I have no idea, but their overwhelming cuteness wants me to run out and buy some chicks ASAP!

I agree with you. So Easter egger and not Ameraucana?

I call them instant mood elevators. They are so precious!

Yes. 4 definitely isn't the right color and 2 could only be a brown/red Ameraucana, which is probably the rarest color and wouldn't be found at a feed store or even at a hatchery. Feed stores often sell Easter eggers as Ameraucanas. I have no idea why-- the name Easter egger seems pretty marketable to me.

That’s a bummer bc I wanted an Ameraucana. I’ll search another feed store. I appreciate your help.
