I am hoping for a little assistance on identifying these darlings. My kids keep asking what they are and don't like it when I say "chickens." I am content to wait until they are a bit older but you know kids. I got them as straight run at TSC so I know they come from Mt. Healthy. They are about 2 weeks old.

Chick 1 (hoping Buff Orpington)

Chick 3 (I am thinking either Rhode Island or New Hampshire Red)

Thanks for any help you can give us.

1. First chick looks a little dark in the photo to be a BO, IMO (hope I'm wrong!).

2. Second chick looks like a leghorn to me.

3. Third chick could be a NHR or production red.

I'm not the best ID'er; someone with more experience will give you better info.
 
I am probably totally wrong, but the first one looks just like the red broilers I have in my brooder right now. The second one looks like a male red sex-link, and the third looks like an RIR.
 
Thanks, I'm a little partial to roo #4 myself. Kinda of getting the idea that I will wait until they are a bit bigger to try to identify the breeds. Too many breeds look too similar at this age. I'll post again in a few weeks and maybe they will look more defined. Thanks for all the help.
 
Chicks are just about 6 weeks old and I thought I'd give this another try. Any thoughts?

General sample of the chicks.

Bigger than the rest but looks the same. But has redder comb and wattlers. Roo? Breed?
