what breeds are these?

[summerb76]

How can I tell if my chicks are aracanas or if they are brown leghorns? They both have the same chipmunk look to them. They are only 5 days old. Also I some that are light yellow/buff with slightly darker chipmunk markings? Coulds they be buff orphingtons?

Buff orpington chicks are pure yellow with no markings.

Leghorns have a straight comb and the Ameraucanas or Easter Eggers should have a Pea comb. Even on the little ones you can see the makings of their combs.

Thank you, I will go check all the combs.

Wow I'm shocked I only got 1 reply! I was really hoping for more, hope someone has some guesses about what these chicks are.

Its not too easy to guess when they are so young
