What breed are my chicks

[Katie.tindell]

i have three baby chicks and I really want to know what breed each could be please let me know if you can tell what they are

Can't place the first one. Maybe an olive egger. Second one looks like a red sex link pullet. Third one is difficult, too. Maybe a light Brahma or light Brahma bantam. Did you get them from a feed store, hatchery, or backyard breeder?

I got them from a feed store

Cool, that helps because we then know they can't be random backyard crosses.

The first one I would guess is either an Easter egger, olive egger or Dixie rainbow. The second definitely looks like some type of red sex link pullet. The third has feathered legs, so light Brahma or LB bantam, or possibly some type of Cochin. It is not a silkie and I don't think it's any type of booted bantam because of the lack of a beard.

Is it possible to tell gender or is it too early to tell?

Too early, except with the sex link, which is a pullet. 7 or 8 weeks is about the earliest for sexing, unless you see big red combs/wattles come in before that.

Thank you so much for your help!!

I'd say the first is an Easter Egger, second, Red Sex Link, and third.....what comb type? Does sort of remind one of a Light Brahma. A pea comb would confirm that.
