What oh what could we be

[DaynaLynn]

Hopefully you can help me identify some breeds. I'm not sure how to tell.

Thank you in advance !!!

I know i have a possible mix of:

Barred rock
Australorp
Rhode Island Red
Amauracauna
Icelandics
Buff & lavender Orpington
Black Copper Maran

1. Buff??

2. Buff?

3. Red head

4. Redish, brown tipped wings?

5. Buff orpingtons? One has very peach feathers, the other two have brown feathers, but one is mich darker.

6.

7.(3 Icelandics?)

1. Probably a RIR, buffs will be SOLID gold : D
2. The feathers look white in the photo... IRL do they look white? grey? golden?
3. Probably a Marans
4. Probably also a Marans
5. Solid gold to the left is your Buff Orp, the others are most likely RIR : D although Icelandics are unpredictable in color if I remember correctly
6. Could also be a Marans, although I've just had a thought. Any blacks you have could possibly also be "Split Lavender" Orpingtons as some hatcheries do that, where did you buy these guys?

I didn't see any beards (which an Ameraucana or EE would have) except in image 3, the grey one kinda photo bombing, but it could just be regular cheek fluff at a weird angle.

Yes, the whites are quite white, with black marks.

And thanks so much for the RIR. For some reason i thought all the orangey ones were buffs. They are totally RIR since looking on Google. They are the most social of the bunch.

The black ones all look different. Two look the same. One has a red head and one has red tipped wings. Wasn't sure if they were different breeds or mixture.
I think the grey photo bomber is a lavender orpington.

We got the eggs from a local farm, not a hatchery.

We're these all from separated breeders or just from a flock?
Wondering if you just have a group of barnyard mixes?
Chicks that age can be impossible to ID even when known to be purebreds. Too many breeds look almost identical as chicks.
I looked at the other posters ideas and saw small inconsistencies so I'm not convinced.

Ah, perhaps they are all mixes. I don't know how chicken breeds work, and wasnt aware they could mix like that.
I guess we wait to see if they/when they crow.
Thanks

This grey one is actually blue and is part/full Ameraucana or EE

Knowing how the breeder kept them is crucial. If it was a mixed flock, just like having purebred dogs wandering around, there'll make mixed puppies. I assumed hatchery since you had a list of breeds : ) you could send a message to the breeder and ask them
