what breed are my chicks?

[farmerjon1988]

hi everyone my chicks hatched yesterday thanks to my broody

and i was just wondering if anyone knows what breed they are? we brought a mixed batch of eggs and the breeds the seller had are-

(buff, black, blue, splash and gold lace orpington)
(silver, light, buff and speckled sussex)
(salmon faverolle)
(cuckoo and wheaton french maran)
(exchequer and white leghorns)
(rhode island reds)
(barnvelders)
(welsummers)

these are the eggs they hatched from

heres is the first chick to hatch

and this is the other 2

i think they are silver sussex or maybe black orps or a mix of both but i cud be wrong 11

in the first pick the chick has a white patch on his/her chest and on the second pic the black one has a white chest and tummy anf the other chick with the buff/brown head is more of a grey then black and has light bits on his wings and back


cheers

Well done on hatching those beautiful chicks, unfortunately I can't help regarding what has hatched, shame the breeder didn;t put the name of breed on the egg for you to identify, although the black chick in photo 2 does look like an orp chick?

Were there cocks of each breed running with each breed of hen?

yh thats all the chickens he had and they were all running together he said they could either be pure/cross breeds

yh i thought the black ones look like orps or i was thinking silver sussex but then the maran chicks look the same but the egg was to light so i ruled that out unless they are crosses
and the lighter one looks like a blackrock chick (RIR x Plymouth rock) but he didnt have any plymouth rock so i was gonna ask does anyone knos if a RIR x maran would come out looking the same?

cheers

i think you will just have to wait and see! the chances are they will be cross breeds if he has that many different breeds running together but you should get some interesting results! lets just hope they are all hens!
