I ordered a dozen silkies from Hoovers and several were very clearly not silkies. Identified 2 already as likely a golden laced Cochin bantam and a barred Cochin bantam but here’s a few more that I’m not sure on.

Chick 1: golden lacing and feathered legs, very brave, phenomenal flyer

Chick 2: smallest of the bunch, lighter chest, kind of squirrelly, clean legged

Chick 3: black, feathered legs, no visible comb

Please don’t mind my dirty fingernails, was scratching horses.

I believe I see wattles in picture 3 and 5 aside from that I'm useless when it comes to breeds.
