What and whaaat....

Hello BYC!
I need your help again! On March 19th we bought from Tractor Supply 5 Brahma's and 5 Amerucans... well now I'm not so sure what I have! I have 5 of these, black & white, yellow feathered legs..


Which are absolutely beautiful chicks, can't wait to see them grown! Then, I have one of these..
It is white & reddish, greenish non feathered legs. Couldn't get a good picture but hopefully this is enough.

And, 4 of theses puffballs...
They are all white, blackish non feathered legs with blackish beaks. They are approximately same age as the others but it's like their feathers never came in-so cute!

What are your thoughts? And thanks for any opinions!

The one with copper barring on the wings is a cockerel. Your light Brahmas all look like pullets.

The five black and white are the Brahmas, the four puff balls look to be silkies, and I can't make the other one out. Can you try to get another picture of it?

The black and white birds with feathered legs (first photo) are your brahmas.

The one with the bit of red and the green legs is an Easter Egger.

The fuzzy looking ones with black skin are silkies and they will always be fuzzy like that and never get the hard adult looking feathers that your other birds have.

Agreed. the black and whites are light brahmas. The white with green legs and copper on the wings is an easter egger cockerel, and the other two fluff balls are silkies.

When you say it's a cockerel, what kind of roo? A Brahma? Also the all white one do have feathered legs.

So the "silkies" they do have feathered legs I said said originally they didn't but that was an error.

I can't believe I ended up with 4 silkies If so I'm so excited cause I have been wanting them but the store NEVER has them!

I will count my blessing I bought five Ameraucanas to expanded my egg colors but I apparently got four silkies that I've really wanted so...I'll take a roo but Mr. Rooster may not be happy!

I hate to ask, but where did you get your ameraucana?
