We bought 8 assorted brown eggers today but there was no specified breed attached to them. There was also no gender specified. We went to buy from a more reputable farm but they sold out until June. Some of them have light brown spots on their sides. These are our first chicks in the brooder (and our first additions to our very large homestead – gardening came first) and the last ones at the store. Brooder was custom built by an experienced chicken keeper friend who has given us lots of tips, she also doesn’t know for sure what they could be. But we are all excited to figure it out! Any ideas?

Likely whatever brown egg laying breeds the hatchery had left over after orders were filled. It’s going to be nearly impossible to know what breeds they are until they feather out.
I’m no expert but probably won’t be able to tell too accurately until they start getting feathers.
Too early to tell. Take pics and repost in about 6 weeks.
At this age, I can confidently say that these look to be chickens.
Cotton balls! 😍
