i wanna be a cowboy, baby ( HELL YEAH )
This is my second time getting chicks from Meyer’s and I think this is the funkiest mix yet. This will just be an age progression post that I hope to update weekly to document how they grow.
Start/Day 2:
Drago II - Salmon Faverolle. This lil guy should be the only male of the group. I bought him to replace my previous faverolle male that died in a freak brooder accident about a month back.
Uno - Partridge Cochin. Okay, so I had been trying to hatch one of these since January from hatching eggs from Meyer’s. I had been plagued with incubator troubles and power outages every single time. The last hatch I attempted, I only got one cochin to hatch out of six and one lavender orpington from the single assorted egg I ordered along with the partridge cochin eggs. Fast forward to 5 weeks later and both were killed and eaten by a snake that got into the coop. After that incident, my brother bought me this little girl.
No Name Yet — Egyptian Fayoumis. Just wanted a breed I’ve never had before and another white egg layer other than a leghorn.
No Name — Lakeshore Egger (?). I think this is my lakeshore egger, but I’m really not sure. It could be the meal maker, too.
Pop Fart ( lovingly referred to as by my dad ) - Mille Fleur Belgian Bearded d’Uccle. Hopefully a pullet, but I didn’t seem to have great luck with straight runs
No Name - Light Brown Leghorn (?). Again, not sure but I did order one. I didn’t expect to get two chicks that look nearly identical. This girl has slightly yellower legs, though.
Pop Fart 2 - another d’Uccle. Again, hopefully a pullet.
No Name - New Hampshire, Rhode Island Red or Lakeshore Egger ? Again, no idea which one, but I feel she’s a RIR. She has to be the meal maker or lakeshore egger.
Pop Fart 3 - d’Uccle. Yeah, I want all 3 to be pullets.
No Name - Blue Laced Red Wyandotte. She had some pasty butt that I had to take care of, but she still looks like a puff ball.
No Name — Buff Laced Polish. Technically my brother’s chick, but he keeps them with my flock and I take care of them. Definitely the goofiest chick I’ve ever seen.
No Name - Lisa Steele’s Cookies n’ Cream. Mostly a curiosity purchase.
Mumble - Blue Ameraucana. She’s a replacement for the ameraucana chick I lost not long after taking the first set of chicks home back in April. My dad said she looked like the penguin off of happy feet, so he unintentionally named her.
No Name - Colombian Wyandotte (?). This is a bin chick I picked out. I’m pretty sure on the breed and she’s the second biggest chick.
No Name - Green Queen (?). Another bin chick. I thought she was a black copper maran because she had copper in her wing feathers like my blue copper did, but I didn’t notice her 5th toe after we were already down the road, lol.
Chunk - ?. Another bin chick. I was hoping to get a partridge penedesenca, but I’m not sure if I did or not. We’ll see, I suppose. She is the biggest chick I have.

Here is my Legbar baby. The one you're speculating could be the meal maker is pretty similar to her! (Sorry for the poorly thought out wood pane background with a brown chick 
Should be interesting to see how she grows. Mine were outgoing as chicks and were both female, so I wouldn't get too worried about behavior just yet.
