Okay here I go again, I bought 6 chicks from tsc, 3 from one barrel and 3 from another. I was first told they were brahma chicks then later when I called they told me sorry the feature breed was actually white leghorn chicks. Now since I have been posting on this site; I am very aware that the 3 bigger birds are probably cornish crosses. Now its just these last 3 birds to figure out! When do earlobes develop? Oh as it stands right now I believe these guys are possible tetra tints from one of my first post on here!

The last one looks like it has green legs which might indicate it being an EE. I would put a guess in it being a roo as well. I do not know the first two and am just guessing on the last.
 
I'd say leghorns as well, but that doesn't explain the black tail feathers on the second... So maybe a Delaware... third is definitely an EE (atleast an EE cross)
 
The 3rd one (rainbow) is my daughters favorite and I have watched its leg turn darker and darker the last couple of weeks. These 3 came from a barrel that indicated they were pullets; when I told them I wanted 6 of the pullets (which were all mainly yellow with black dots on them) I was informed they were not pullets that they are sure they are the featured breed! What are the chances since they seem to be all different that they were indeed pullets? Why do you think the Rainbow is a roo? I appreciate all the help you guys provide...I would definitely be lost without this site!
 
I think that the first is a leghorn, second a delaware, and I am not sure if the third is an EE, it looks like it has a single comb.

That's what I meant in my post. I called the "first 2" leghorns and 3rd a Delaware, but I meant first 2 pics, which are of the same chick. lol. I'm pretty sure that one's a Dellie. I have had several. 3rd one, no clue, but probably an EE with those green legs. Single comb, and no muffs, though, so if it's a girl, it will probably lay white or brown eggs.
