What type of chicks are these two ladies?

[Crazychocolatedog]

Hi again,
Today, I picked up two new chicks. I was told they were 6 weeks old but look younger. Mine are almost 7 weeks old and 1/3 taller but mine are Easter Eggers and a RI RED.
The guy I bought them from, said they were a mixed bunch of chicks...maybe leghorns, or welsummer....but he wasn’t sure.
Anyone want to take a guess? They were spooked out today. I might be able to get better shots tomorrow.
I apprediate any help.
Thanks!
K

They are what you were told, mixed breed chicks.

He said.....He bought a few , specific breeds mixed together in a lot from TS. But he said they were specific single breeds, such as, welsummer, leghorn, amber light (not sure that is the exact name he told me)
So ,..you think they are just mongrel chickens? It seems, ..and I am new to this,...that people often don’t get what they ordered....or what told they were getting.
That’s too bad. I was hoping at some point, I could get something nice for my flock next year, but now,...I’m wondering who I can trust,...if anyone.

The tractor supply often sell designer mixes, so they could be that. The red almost looks like a RIR, but the legs should be yellow. Perhaps the photo is showing them differently? The buff I don't recognize as any breed.

Thanks. The red one does have yellow legs. The buff one is cute,..but definitely some weird mix I guess.

The reddish one looks like the same as the ones I got from TS and the hatchery said they were Production Reds. You can send pictures to the hatchery along with the date you bought them and they can tell you what they are. I think they are hybrid chicks
