When can you determine Breeds?

[Chicky-bock-bock-mamma]

I ordered a mixed selection of pullets from a hatchery, they unfortunately don't tell you what breeds they send. I do know that they are true breeds, so my question is when do they start to take on their final feathers so that you can determine the breeds? I have so many and trying to guess which is which is proving to be crazy hard!!!! Thanks for your input!!!

Full feathering takes place at about 6 weeks, but a bit past that is when you may be able to tell.

Look at the breeds list at the hatchery, and compare chick pictures. From the hatchery, feathersite, and possibly other hatcheries who sell the same breeds.
It's fun to guess!

Yes I have been reviewing their chick pictures but they are very hard to pick specific breeds, example is that the barred rocks, dominiques and Marans look similar, and not every chick is the same as pictured but I can't wait to see what they grow into
