I have two week old chicks and I don't know what kind they are. I ordered them from Mcmurrey.
Is this a boy, it is already growing a small comb.

Here is another 2 week old chick that I do not know the breed.
And another one.
 
#2 is a white Cochin. I have no idea on the others, but I'm sure someone will recognize them! Good luck!
 
1st one looks like an Ancona, 2nd looks Cochin but not white, the white cohins are white as babies, the 3rd looks buff but not orpington not sure. What did you order?
 
#1 has a single comb and yellow bottoms. #2's wings are coming in white. I ordered a mix of different straight run chicks from Mcmurrey.
 
#2 is a white Cochin. I have 2 white Cochin hens from McMurray. Here's is a picture of white Cochin chicks take directly from McMurrays website:

Mine, as chicks, were a bit lighter. More grey and cream like your chick than the black shown in the pic, but they weren't pale chicks (which was what I was expecting when I received my order).

Thats crazy that those little cuties turn into white chickens. The white cochins I received from Meyer hatchery was whiteish yellow. Thanks for posting pics, I learned something new today.
