can recognize the 2 buf orps and 2 brahmas but the rest are yellow or white (except for what were supposed to be packing peanuts that are chipmunk color and brown/black/gold combo and 2 with blue legs) i ordered silver laced wyandottes, a gold laced wyandotte, ameracaunas which is what the packing peanuts look like - i am figuring maybe the pullets change color when they mature - except for the blue legs. help i am confused - and yes (duh) i should have asked them to mark the chicks but this was my first time

Check out feathersite.com (I think that's the name...) They have good pictures of all the breeds, and at different stages of development.
 
This may help, for Wyandottes GL are chipmunk as chicks, kind of black with brown pattern. Here are my gold laced chicks right after arrival

Then the ones that I am pretty sure are my silver laced:

I wasn't sure about the silver laced ones but now that they have their first tiny wing feathers they are white with black edges so I'm guessing those are the silver laced.
