What breeds are my chicks?

Lowri12 · Oct 14, 2014

I'm new to raising chickens and had my first ever hatch of 6/9 eggs almost a week ago. I have 6 very healthy chicks but all are different breeds (apart from 2 that are identical). I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me out with what breeds they are

Only one I'm even willing to take a guess at is number three as it reminds me of the black australorp chicks I've been drooling over lately lol

1.
Some sort of Cochin, possibly a Buff.
2.
Partridge Cochin.
3.
Could be any of several black breeds: Australorp, Orpington, Jersey Giant, etc. It will be easier to tell as it matures.
4.
Could be a Black Sex-link female, or another black breed. Should become more obvious as it gets older.
5.
Not sure. May be a Production Red or Red Sex-link.

X2 on Bantamlover21's guesses.

X3 on BantamLover21's guesses. That's about as good as can be done identifying them until they get older.

Here are some photos of my chicks, they're not very good photos but I was wondering now that they're a bot older is it possilbe to definitely determine their breeds?
