What breed are my Tractor supply chicks?

I can check when I get home if they have feathers on their legs. What exactly would that mean?

It just means they have not shaved their legs. :p

No really it helps determine the breed. Cochins and Brahma for example have feathered legs and 4 toes. Salmon Faverolle have feathered legs and 5 toes.

Those are just a few of the feather legged breeds.

Count their toes too...for one because they are tiny and cute BUT it will also help determine breed.

Update they indeed have feathers on their feet. I added a few pics just in case anyone in here could tell what breed they are just from the feet
A previous user also stated that they thought I have all males and one female, can anyone else give me some insight on that? The tractor supply worker told me they could tell the difference so I asked for all female and one male
I appreciate all the help I’m just getting into raising chickens
I’m really disappointed I was hoping for some blue eggs

Pic 2 reveals that you have at least ONE Salmon Faverolle. I see that 5th toe. The others I am not sure....could be more Faverolle.
The nice thing is if they are you will know if you got males by black chest feathers when the chests feather in. I think you got females just so you know.

Oh geez, I definitely need new eyes. You are correct. :)

All in this footie post are Salmon Faverolle!!! They lay light brown eggs. They are a hoot though. I have 2 of them one is a darker chestnut color and one a lighter color. Both are female. When the chest feathers grow in it is easy to tell.
@Chickassan is really good at telling when they are younger. Maybe she can have a look....
