I was suppose to get three light brown leghorn chicks on May 1st. I got the chicks and one seems to be a leghorn and the other two are not. The other two are smaller, they are a little different in colour and their feathers are coming in different. I was thinking they could be either soem colour of Phoenix or Welsummer, what do you think? The ones that I dont know what they are, are circled;the other one is the leghorn.

The one on the right looks like my Speckled Sussex at that age but there are so many breeds that start out looking like chipmunks that I'm not that good at differentiating.
 
The ones on the side look like leghorns, the one in the middle looks like a SS.

btw, The bird circled in the last pic in the background is a boy

both chicks have a line next to their eye, The one in the front has a clearer, sharper line (hence girl) and the one in the back has a fuzzy, not as clear line (hence boy)
 
I'd say speckled sussex over welsummer, which has yellower bellies and oranger legs.
