Hello,
We purchased 25 chicks from McMurray Hatchery. We did the "Choice Layers" mix, which is pretty much a random assortment of good-laying pullets. It also included a free "rare exotic chick." However, we had some terrible luck and ended up with 11 chickens in the end. They were hatched February 1 and are now about 12 weeks old.
I believe we have five breeds here:
5 White Chicks (guessing white Leghorn?)
3 Red Chicks (guessing Rhode Island Red?)
1 Brown and Black chick (pretty sure it's an Ameracauna/Easter Egger--have had these before)
1 Black and White chick
1 Black Chick (possibly an Australorp?)
Pictures are below. They weren't too cooperative...
