Cackle hatchery's Hatchery Surprise- Anybody got this before?

[SlipsWife]

Our first Cackle Hatchery Surprise #1 for 2014 is here !!!

A total of 49 chicks !!!!
We got quite a few silkies, polish, 1 turken (odd looking little thing), EE's and some bantams.

I am not sure if I have old English bantams are not.
Never had them before.

Here are their first pictures !!!

Yeah! Are they as loud and crazy as my group?!

Yep they are. I have the smaller breeds in the setup area we had for turkeys etc. So they don't get trampled by the big chicks. We have quite a few silkies with all the same coloring. There is some like yours that have the 5 toes but clean legs.

The one before the duck looks like a silver laced wyandotte maybe?

I hope so! I went back to see if I have a full body shot and can't find one...

Seriously this month needs to go by quickly. I want my chicks!
Baby fever!

WOW! Lucky on the Old English, I hope I get a few.

I'm still waiting. My post office usually calls after 8:30 am when they officially open.

Are they there yet? How about now? Now?!

Don't worry everybody, most of the 16 lbs was box--they were in one of those giant boxes for 100 birds, but one compartment was empty. I'm guessing I got 75ish birds total--2 are ducks. 25 were specifically-ordered breeds (ordered 20, they sent a couple extras, I think).

I have to wait until my daughter takes a nap to know what's there, and how many. Off the bat there are at least 4 silkies, some Welsummer (they look just like the ordered Welsummer anyhow), EEs, a handful of bantams, maybe some Delaware, maybe a Spitzhauben, one Polish... hmm... can't remember any others... couple barred birds....

I was soooo looking forward to baby t-rex pics! Were they all chicks?

HAHA I didn't get any of those turken freaks!

I'm a bit bummed that I don't see any Houdan--Cackle has excellent Houdans according to the Houdan thread (or at least they did have one of the best breeder flocks a couple years ago).
