Ordered 50 chicks. 25 I ordered specific breeds and know who is who. 25 ish  are a Rare Breed Special Lot Any help to identify would be greatly appreciated.

 

1. White Crested Black Polish 

2. Silkie?? No Clue...polishy head but feathered feet! Maybe a banty? Its on the smallish side (there are 2 both are the same size). 

3. Sumatra?

4. Speckled Sussex? 

5. BB Red Game or Phoenix?

6. No Idea

7. White Laced Red Cornish?
8-15 NO Idea.

 

Feathered feet on 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, 13, 14.

I thought both chicks in 8 are the same so i gave them one number.  

 

Any help / corrections would be greatly appreciated.  I can get addt'l pictures of anybody. I LOVE baby chicks :D

2 Australian Shepherds, 8 horses, and currently suffering from the effects of chicken math with >30 chickens and climbing. Especially fond of Silver Penciled Rocks and Cochins but have some polish in the grow up pen along with some Easter Eggers.

Can you post a list of what the possibilities are, according to the hatchery?

We have a dozen different breeds of chickens and we love them all!

2 is a silkie...

The difference between pets and pests is only on which side of the fence they're standing... keep your animals in your own property.

Could 2 be a sultan? I agree 4 are speckled sussex. 5, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14 are Cochins. I'm not sure on the others, they're all super cute!

Yes 5 toes on number 2. What does 5 toes mean? I hadn't considered silkie b/c I thought the legs had to be darker and it didn't match any of their pictures. 

 

Chicks theoretically could be from Rare and Unusual Breeds, Cochins / Feather Footed, and Top Hats (because I got some white crested black polish)

 

Also, still pretty sure the #2's are bantams. They are the smallest things in the brooder.

The feathered footed could be Cochin or brahma, both have heavy foot feathering.

9 and 10 could be Old English Game Birds... 10 maybe a silver duckwing and 9 some kind of buff or red variety.
