The chicks in the last two photos look like the ones in my brooder, just a week younger. I'm not saying yours are New Hampshires, but they look like my NHs that I hatched myself from New Hampshire parents roaming my backyard right now.

They proubly are but with hatchery stock the color is off sometimes since they tend to not breed for APA standards....

They don't look like New Hampshires to me either. It looks like their feathers are white/off-white? That would cinch it as not NHR for me.

NH chicks are yellow when they hatch. Their wings have some patterning when they first sprout and they turn darker later on. That last pic does look like it could be a NH chick, but time will tell. I have a few in my grow out coop right now, though they are from good old lines, not a hatchery. I've had hatchery NHs and they look like yours.


These are a couple of my NH chicks--they have a more reddish tinge than my hatchery NHs did, but these looked exactly like some of the Buff Orps in the same brooder when they hatched:
