what am I

[Amsignorelli]

We ordered our chickens almost weeks ago, we were so excited and really couldn’t decide on what to order so we ordered a surprise pack would love anything we got! Now it’s driving me crazy cause I have no idea what I received any help would be great I feel like I’ve only properly identified one breed!

Welcome!
I'm not going to be a big help here, but it will be fun sorting them out!
Go to the hatchery catalog, look at the breeds offered, and then at their chick pictures. Also look at feathersite, and enjoy!
Easter Eggers will have muffs usually, and develop green legs. Do you have any with feathered legs? If not, ignore those breeds. Any bantams?
Any with five toes?
Eliminate obvious breeds, and go on from there.
And post more pictures in another week or three!

They certainly sent you some adorable chicks!
Got me stumped but I want to follow along too.

Worst case scenario, you can usually contact the hatcheries with your order number and find out what they sent.

Worth a try but every assortment I read on hatchery sites said they do not keep record.

On their website, who did you order them from?
