What breeds are my 2 chicks?

[Majak5]

Just bought these 2 chicks today and I was told what they where but I don’t remember anymore, anyone have any idea what they are?

My guess is the first one is an Australorp. The second could be a black sex link pullet, but if so, this chick is a lot lighter than they usually are. It could be some other type of hybrid layer, too.

When he told me what they where, I definitely know he didn’t australorp

 

[Birds of a Feather]

I think the first chick kind of looks like an Ancona.

Anyone know if the first one is a boy or girl, I’ll send a pic of it’s wings

Bantams??? I see a black australorp, and some hybrid.

 

[Majak5]

No they are normal chickens

 

[ButtonquailGirl14]

No they are normal chickens

ok, that is what I figured.... so the first really looks like a Black Australorp, and the second looks like some hybrid..... also chicks are hard to tell.... when they are fully grown it will be Much easier! where did you get them?

I second Jed....your puffballs are most likely a Black Australorp and Black Sex Link.

That being said, breeds of black coloration are often difficult to distinguish when young. Time will tell for sure.

agree with Jed also. The first sure looks like a Black Australorp
