Hi all - I recently bought 18 chicks (16 survived the shipping) of a rare breeds assortment. They are now just over 3 weeks old. I have identified most of them - but I need help with the last few!

The options are:


• Golden Laced Wyandotte
• Silver Laced Wyandotte
• Columbian Wyandotte
• Blue Laced Red Wyandotte
• Dominique
• Black Jersey Giant
• Silver Spangled Hamburg
• Gold Spangled Hamburg
• Blue Hamburg
• Splash Hamburg
• Black Hamburg
• Delaware
• Blue Andalusian
• Splash Andalusian
• Black Andalusian
• Speckled Sussex
• Dark Cornish
• Ancona.
• Light Brown Leghorn
• Buckeye
• Easter Egger
• Partridge Rock
• Welsummer
• Silver Lakenvelder
• Golden Lakenvelder
• Black Sumatra
• Sicilian Buttercup
• Exchequer Leghorn
• Golden Campine
• Buff Chantecler
• Black Copper Marans
• Golden Cuckoo Marans
• Partridge Penedesenca
• Barnevelder

I am starting to think I have all easter eggers! Do they have to have muffs - or can you have muff-less ones (which would make my job a lot harder). Similarly, would all the green-legged birds have to be easter eggers?

Here is the first - she was completely black as a chick, but has since grown some bronzy accents:

Thanks, Mother o' Chicks!

I am really wondering about the really dark one - since she has slate/black legs, I don't think she is a wyandotte. I am starting to think that the other three are really EEs due to those green feet - looks like I got a lot more of those than I was expecting!
