What kinda chicks are these?

WANT A PIC?

You can not know for sure what breed until the chick is older.

Tractor supply should have had the chicks marked but many tractor supply company stores don't do a good job of keeping them separate.

I believe you have brown leghorns.

However many breeds of chickens produce chicks that look like this(it's called wild type coloration) and traditionally it made for good camo.

Speckled Sussex
Birds that come in black breasted red
Brown leghorn
EE/often mislabeled as Americana or Ameracauna by hatcheries

All frequently look like this as chicks.

Your chicks appear unbearded which some EE can be but most tend to be bearded.

Tractor supply gets only what the hatcheries send them and usually layer breeds.

My guess is brown leghorn but due to the number of breeds that look like this as chicks you won't know until they're older. I would repost at 3-6 weeks but it may take up to 8.

If they are brown leghorns they will be beautiful hens(assuming they're sexed pullets). White/cream colored egg laying machines and have white ear lobes and yellow legs.
 
That's definetly not an Ameraucana, OP... and neither is yours @Kylo_Hen! Tractor Supply (and every other feed store) sells Easter Eggers as 'AmerIcana' (note the I in the middle instead of the AU). So, I can tell you what its not... its not an Ameraucana.... and I'll need more feathers to figure out what it is. There are many breeds that have chipmunk patterns.
