3 little mysteries

[LB0002]

I split an order of 10 "Rare and Common" female chicks from Hoovers with a friend. 3 of mine are white Leghorns, but these 3 are still a mystery. Any guesses on breed and/or gender? They are 3 weeks today. Pics are from today and the day they arrived (1-2 days).

Thanks!

The 5th-6th pictures look like a wyandotte, maybe golden-laced? The last might be some kind of egger. They are really cute chicks!

The first looks like an Easter Egger to me, the second I'm guessing some sort of production breed, and the third is a Golden Laced Wyandotte.

What is a production breed?

I've been hoping #3 is a Wyandotte!

You say there were bought as female chicks.
Looking at the pictures, I do not see any reason to think they are males at this point. Hopefully the hatchery sexing really was accurate!

Thanks! We love them all, regardless of breed, but I am a curious person.

I hope so - we aren't supposed to have roosters in our town unless you have 3+ acres, which we do not.

Pretty much what @Chicken_tiger_catt said.
They can go by many names, such as ISA Brown, Golden Comet, Red Sex Links, ect... there's more names than that. They're all kind of the same thing. Usually brown colored chickens, and who are bred to lay tons of eggs.
