I wasn't sure I'd like them but have found them to be attractive and friendly so far. Hardy robust little birds.

I like everything about it except how it looks right now. I know it lays decently. It is a great part of my great waterfowl flock.

I got these chicks a few weeks ago for free from a lady that bought them just to do photography for Easter. Can someone help figure out what breed they may be?

Pictures are small so it is hard to see but they look like Tetra Tints that were sold at Tractor Supply

Mom to 2 kids, 2 cats, 1 fish, and 11 girls (Haley - banty, Nutmeg - Buff Orp, Teddy - Red sex link, Bella - Tetra Tint, Pepper, Salt and Dot - Dominiques, Summer - Welsummer, Cheeky and Muffin - EE, Freckles - Speckled Sussex) And the wife of one very wonderful husband who puts up with me and my chickens!

Those pictures are too tiny for me to make a guess. I hope they're not Cornish meat birds. If so, they have a very short life and are big enough to be processed at 7-8 weeks old.

I live with my partner and our daughter in the foothills of NC. We LOVE our critters!
