Here's some pics of my chicks. I ordered the "Rainbow Layers' from McMurray Hatchery, but it's hard to tell what they are. Anyone want to take a guess?

What is the black & white one on the left and the speckled one on the right?

This non-descript grey one is the friendliest and most outgoing of the bunch. What is she?

Is the yellow one a RIR?

thanks everyone!

They jump on the branch themselves. I put it in the chicken coop last week when they started jumping over the draft shield and started wandering around the rest of the coop. Here's a pic of their home. You can see the branch on the right side. they are also jumping on the nesting boxes and the roosts in the sheltered area. >

The speckled one looks to me like an Americana, with the green legs. The little buff one is not a RIR! I think the it may be a red sex-link, they lay brown eggs. I have no idea on the black & white or the grey one. Great pictures! I have 35 of them that age. The RIR are more red. Here's one of my RIR.

I ordered pullets. But when they were delivered, 5 extra peeps were included. Remember the beginning of March with all the harsh, cold weather around the US? They were put in for warmth, so I'm sure I got a couple of boys. Which ones do you think are roosters?

Here's a pic of them basking in this morning's sun.
