What do I have--not what I thought

[ryanhodapp]

These are my first chicks and I bought them from a feed store. As babies I thought I had a RIR, Buff orpington and Barred Rock. Now that they are about 9 weeks, I dont think so. Any insight to breed and sex would be appreciated.
I also posted by Easter Eggers, they are 4 weeks now, but pictures are from about 2 weeks. What colors will they end up being?
Thanks,
Trying to figure out how to post pictures...

The 3rd chicken in the 3rd picture looks like my girls do and they are Golden Buff chickens. They all look very nice.

The all red one looks like a Rhode Island red and the brown and white one looks like a red sex link or golden comet. I don't know on the 3rd one.

the black and reddish brown one is a gold-laced Wyandotte. that's exactly what mine looked like at that age.

black/gold - gold laced wyandotte. Red - RIR. Red/white: golden comet/sex link.

I can't tell from your pic what color the ee's will be.

 

[ryanhodapp]

ok, so what is a gold laced Wyandotte/red sex link/golden comet and is it a girl or boy?
it was later to develop feathers than the RIR and the white one. As a young chick was more passive, now seems to be a leader.

Golden Buff? what is that

are they white or brown layers?

thanks for the help.

Golden Buffs are a sexlink hybrid layer. They lay brown eggs.

i would guess that your gold-laced Wyandotte (GLW) is a pullet... by 9 weeks my cockerels had pretty red combs already. they are brown egg layers.

thanks everyone, I can sleep better now. That is the last time I buy chicks that arent labeled for breed.
My son will be happy to hear that the GLW looks to be a pullet. I thought for sure she was turning roo.

These little chicks, Pochy (GLW), Brownie (RIR) and Sally the golden comet, are going to a community garden and I am keeping the EEs. I was going to try to keep them all, put after seeing full grown RIR, I dont have room for 8 chicks on my city lot.

I havent named the EE's because I cant tell them apart yet.
