Got my order from ideal this morning, thought it would be fun to get a few randoms but now it's proving to be mentally stressful trying to guess lol.

I ordered 14, they sent me 21 with 6 of them being confirmed male.

I've got 4 Buff Orpingtons, 4 Barred Rocks, and then 7 randoms. Not counting the males.

These are the best pictures I could get as they are very active, most active bunch I've ever dealt with.


I have got 6 of these...
I requested a few Wyandotte if they had any available as they were not order-able on the website, so I am slightly hopeful.


Only have one of these which I believe is an easter egger.



I am going to try to update once a week depending on how busy life is.

Are they all day old chicks? You can't accurately tell if you have cockerels then. The first pic is hard to tell, but it could be an Australorp. The second is an Easter Egger.
 
The hatchery marked 6 of them with a purple spot, in the paperwork it says the ones marked are the filler males.

Never heard of hatcheries doing that.
 
The picture was from this morning, they are now in a bigger bin with flooring. I didn't anticipate having so many.

If you really don't want them, you could try selling them or giving them away (as roosters of course). They probably didn't charge you for them (they shouldn't have). I guess giving you 6 roosters is better than killing them like most hatcheries do.
 
I've already got someone that is going to take them off my hands this weekend. Hope it works out. I really appreciated that they marked them for me. Thing that bothers me though, is only 6 are marked which leaves me with 15 females when I ordered 14. Hoping the males got marked correctly and one wasn't missed.

I may keep one of the males but worried about having one roo and 15 hens.
