What Breed? 2 chickens

[Clucky Chicky Mama]

Hi! I’m a first time chicken mama to 2 chicks that were hatched at our elementary school. Would love some help identifying what we have.

They are 6-7 weeks old.

Thinking the brown one might be an Easter Egger because of the greenish feet? Also, it’s comb is completely flat against its head.

White one thinking Delaware, Colombian Wyandotte, or Light Sussex?? This one has a yellow comb still that is showing points.

Also - if there are any guesses as to gender, I know it’s too early to tell, but the brown one’s feet are SO BIG!

Thank you so much!

Where were they purchased from? That will help with breed. As for gender, the white is a pullet, the brown is a cockerel.

They were donated to our elementary school - and we adopted them from the kindergarten when they were 2-3 weeks. I know from local farms associated with a couple of the kids in San Diego, but really it’s a complete mystery!

Most often school project chicks turn out to be mixed breeds, and I think that is what these are. The white one could be a Delaware mix. The brown could be an Easter egger, or a mix of some game breed. They're very healthy looking!

I agree with Jed on the gender. As for breed, you're right on your guesses. The pullet might be a mix, but a Delaware is very probable

I think she’s probably a Delaware too

Oh good call! Could even be an EE game mix (so a mix of mixes)

She could be a hatchery type Delaware. Who knows? Generally school chicks are mixed, though.
