Sorting out my Meyers order and some sexing ?? from my hodges order.

[HenPecked_bychildren]

Three Blue Lace Red Wyandotte Chicks. What do you think, about 2 weeks old? There were lots of hatching delays with the batch of chicks from a certain place and I guess these hatched and they had to reset my Ameraucanas eggs, so I got my Wyandotte and Cochins a bit older. Fine by me. lol

I love how they blend with the leaves. (these were straight run, so I don't know what I got. One is lighter in color than the other two. But I don't know much about what they should look like to know if you can sex them by that.)

Lemon-Blue Cochins - I got two and it looks like I might have gotten really lucky and got a roo and pullet. !!!

Blue Ameraucana Chicks - I got 6 of them, one didn't make it.

Straight run also, some are grey and some are a darker color. Can these be sexed?

I believe these three are from Meyers Rare Marans Collection. No idea what they are...I'm guessing White Marans. Any ideas? All my Meyers chicks are pullets. One of these little babies has a bandaid because she had splayed legs. Hopefully she will be good as new soon.

Silver laced Wyandotte? There are supposed to be 2, but there is not another chick that looks JUST like this one...

Golden Laced Wyandotte or Partridge Rock?

???? I ordered 2 more rare marans collection chicks and 6 BA chicks. Do BA chicks have white wing tips like this?

She's a little wet because we had to clean some butts.

Golden Laced Wyandottes? One silver one golden? lol Of course hatchery chicks aren't going to have perfect coloring. They're just for pets(and eggs).

???????

Group shot of the Meyers brooder. Love the sweet girl sleeping with her head in the food. LOL The bright yellow ones are white rocks. Can you ID any others?

Come on someone has to know something.

I think you need to be patient because the only way to sex chicks that young is vent checking right after hatching. Give it a couple of weeks and then you may be able to tell on some of them, but it is a waiting game when you get straight run chicks.

I don't really care about the sexing. I just didn't know if you could tell with those breeds early like you can with some.

I really am more curious to be able to tell which are which out of my meyers order.

My splash marans looked just like your pic of the three rare marans...but I am just guessing. He was yellow but with a lavendery/greeny cast to him.

That would be so cool.

Personally I am besotted with your "GLW or Partridge Rock" guesses. Those just grab my heart - love that mahogany red color.

I can't help you with figuring out what they were but I HAD to comment about how adorable that one was, sleeping with its head in the food dish!

PRICELESS!

The one silver, one golden pic has a SLW that looked like my hatcher SLW. I think that chick is your 2nd SLW

As for the rest....
