Hope someone can help me. I purchased these little ones at my local feed store two weeks ago. I got 6 chicks and just wanted a variety of girls.
I was told 2 are white leg horns, 2 are rhode island reds, and the other 2 are suppose to be black and white spotted when they mature, but I don't remember what they called them. I'm sure the two white ones are the White Leg Horn, and I think the tan chick (#3) is a Rhode Island Red, but I don't think I got two of them. And then from what I've seen on google searches black and white spotted chickens should be black and white chicks. These are all tan and brown. Thanks for any help you can offer.


1. This is the smallest of all the chicks, maybe an Ester Egger?


2. I have two that look like this. Can tan and brown chicks turn black?


3. Biggest of all the chicks I think this is the Rhode Island Red


This is the whole gang.
 
Hi, welcome to BYC!

That big one looks like maybe a Buff Orpington. Your #1 is not an EE. I cannot see enough detail on the white chicks to confirm leghorn. Chick #1 might be your RIR. The 2 smaller ones might also be reds (probably production as mentioned. No biggie).

Are those all the same age?
 
I was told they were all 1 week old when I got them, and they were all together in the same cage. Thanks for your help. I don't really care what breed they are, just would like to know. And hopefully get some good eggs.

Red Sex-link.

The one in front is likely a Buff Orpington.

White ones are probably White Leghorns, if that is what you were told, but we won't know for sure until they mature more.
