What breed(s) are these chicks?

[cfernald]

I am a brand new hen mama! I was given these chicks, so I have no clue what breed(s) I have. I think they are about a month old. Thanks for the help!

They look like Buff Orpingtons and Rhode Island Reds to me!!!

I agree thats what I was gonna say too! I believe they are older than a month old though. They looks to be 3 or 4 months with all those feathers! They usually only have their wing feathers and tail feathers if that at a month old and they have to be under the heat lamp. I have some that are about 4 months and they have as many feathers as urs do & dont have to have the heat lamp anymore. Keep an eye out cause they usually start to lay eggs at about 6 months or so! Good luck on ur new chickies & I hope that u enjoy them!! They sure are awesome to watch!

I am guessing they are 6-8 weeks old. My chicks are almost 6 weeks old and almost have all of their feathers!

I think you have New Hampshires and Buff Sex Links..Buff Orpingtons would be a more even shade of yellow all over without the whitish coloration....
