Each chicken breed will have different characteristics for their chicks.
For example: White Leghorn chicks are a cute lemon yellow color, that will change as they grow and get their adult feathers in, which are white. Golden Sex Link chicks are a soft, reddish yellow, with darker stripes on their back for the females, and a creamy white for the males. Black Australorp chicks are black with a little bit of yellow in their fluff, but grow into black chickens as they get their adult feathers in.
If you mix up your chicks, the only way to tell them apart would be to wait until they get older and can determine what breed they are. Or you can put a spiral leg band on them (anklets!) and as they grow older, change the bands out for larger bands to accomodate thicker legs.

How are chickens different from each other ---even those that look alike?
Even chickens that look very alike still have some differences. For instance, I had two chickens that as they grew older they became very close in appearance. One characteristic is their different personality, it may sound funny that a chicken has a personality, but it is true. One chicken seemed to be more aggressive and seemed to think he was the dominant one. If you have chicks then a way to tell the difference that I found useful is that some will have slightly more adult feathers, or one will be slightly darker. I hope this helped, although the chickens I currently have don't look the same so I never needed a way to tell the difference. Good luck and let me know if you need any more help on chickens!!All chickens may look alike, especially when they're babies, but when they grow older, you might notice some unique aspects that are different from others. The easiest way to tell a chicken apart from another is to mark them with a tag or sharpie. The next (which is what I use) is to note their personality. Like us, chickens have different personalities. I have four white chickens. One of them is very timid and quite afraid of people. Another is more friendly with people and is a little larger. The next acts as the lead hen and might face me if she thinks I'm a predator. My rooster, easiest of all, WILL attack me and has different feathers than the others. Of cousre, this might not work if you're a large-scale chicken owner. With 12 chickens, I can remember their names and tell them apart.
