Hatchery chicks...not sure which breed is which

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 

i had put in an order for pullets....hatchery pullets....

2 EE

2 BLRW

1 russian orloff

1 partridge rock

1 welsummer

 

the blrw, orloff and one of the EE's were guess-able but im not sure which is the partridge rock, wellie and 2nd EE. being hatchery birds i wasnt expecting them to look perfect but they are....i guess very non-standard is a nicer way to put it. and one looks suspiciously male...

 

so here goes...ill start where im more confident...

 

russian orloff

BLRW #2- i call her this by process of elimination....if nothing else she is interesting

EE#1-she does have fluffy cheeks....she dunked them in the waterer just before i caught her.

What hatchery did you get these birds from?

1 German Shepherd, 1 Borador, 1 Malitpoo, 1 West Highland Terrier, 1 German Shorthair Pointer puppy, 3 Australorps, 6 Red Sex Links, 1 Black Sex Link, 1 Speckled Sussex, 1 Silver Laced Wyandotte, 2 Golden Laced Wyandottes, 2 Buff Orpingtons, 3 Tetra Tints (aka: Amber Sex Link) and 9 Easter Eggers.

 

YES, I had to thin my flock out. It went from 57 to 28.  :(

i got them from a local feed store...not sure what hatchery, possibly hatcheries, they got them from. they have "chick days" where once a year they take a TON of orders then you go and pick up your birds. they are priced really well because so many are ordered at a time. they are all in labeled bins so in theory they should be what i ordered. i agree with Peeka52, the "orloff" doesnt really look like one but assuming they gave me a chick from the correct tub its just not a great one...once "she" starts laying egg size/color will help determine what she really is.
