We think Molly is a Campine or a Hamburg her legs are a slatish-green. I'm not sure what Clarabelle is. Both are from a Rainbow Pullet pack that we got from MyPetChicken.

More pictures, taken today. All birds are Oct 4-5 hatching.

A group shot or two:




I think this is a Leghorn:



I think that this is not a Leghorn. Very round in the body:



Various "Chipmunk" chicks. Possibly Welsummers?:







Thanks for all the help.
 
Julia is a barred rock
As far as I can tell, the two white ones are not leghorns. I would say white rocks, but they're so big they could be cornish crosses. Look 'em up. BTW, I think the first one is a little cockerel from the size of that comb...
And I think you're right about the welsummers. Though I've not had any before, the welsummer colors are beginning to show in the neck and breast.

Molly has always had a very odd and upright stance. She got off to a rough start, so I'm being open minded while looking for an alternate name, should she be a Roo.

And I started suspecting I had a clot of Welsummers. There's very little variation in the feathering across the group of them.

The coloring on this bird is off somehow. Can someone comment on the variation?

And yes, she is hatchery quality. I'm trying to understand what I am seeing about her that isn't squaring with what I see in show birds.
