In our last order we got a Easter Egger roo!
He got named Ruffles before he was even out of the box. -We didn't know he was a he at the time, but had a pretty good feeling he was.-
A few pictures~

Good morning from the High Sierras in Nevada. We received a "mystery chick" from McMurray that we assumed would end up being a Roo. Surprise! We received a Silver Laced Polish Hen whom we call "Topper". She is now the #1 Fav in our flock - and an ambassador in our area, helping to grow the backyard chicken movement here. We LOVE her to bits. She has so much personality,but is also a great snuggler. She lays 5 out of 7 days a week and seems to escape the passions of our roosters. So her Crown is still beautiful (even after 18 months!). We have more chicks coming this April, and will have 2 mystery chicks in those orders. We are praying we get pullets, as are most others I'm sure.

I ordered chicks from McMurray Hatchery last spring. This is my free rare breed roo.

He is a Sicilian Buttercup & his name is Kazoo.

Austinspoultry-Sorry for your lost chicks!!  That is too bad!

LeanneP-Sorry to hear you had lost so many chicks too!  On a happy note*My daughter ordered a Blue Cochin as her special chick for this years delivery.  They are scheduled to arrive next week.  I am excited to see what the cochin will be like!  The other kids picked a golden wyandotte, golden and silver polish.  Can't wait!

I hope every ones chicks arrive in tip top condition.  Would be nice to have some decent weather for better shipping.

I am praying for the best for us all. My youngest son chose a Blue Cochin as his pet chicken as well. He just turned 3. He is super excited. We ordered in November and are scheduled for the week of March 9th. We have a little more time. He picked out her chicken diapers and saddle. I feel that she is really going to be a pet.

I just placed an order last week for 15 Blue Red Laced Wyandottes. The option for my 'surprise' popped up automatically at the end. I won't get my batch until April...

The Blue-laced Reds are lovely!

My Scarlet is from McMurray and is healthy, plump, and gorgeous!


Here she is when she was still developing her lacing pattern, next to her oprington "sister" Wynona.

Can anyone help identify what this mystery chick is?

Good luck with your mystery chick When we ordered a couple of years ago, our mystery chick was a male Silver Polish. Thanks for reviving this thread - I love looking at all the past mystery chicks!

Nice looking boy!! I heard they usually give ameracauna roosters since there surplus most of the time

Thank you! We love him to bit.
Not sure if it's usually Easter eggers they send, but I would say that most of the time they are roos.

Our first batch was a Dominique, was super sweet and pretty sure was a roo. Unfortunately we had an outbreak of coccidiosis and lost all but our 3 Dark Cornish. -We do a preventative dose on new babies now.-



Our final batch was a Rainbow layer group.. So I'm not really sure who is the extra.. I think it might be the Turken though since it's the only one like it in the group.
No idea if this one is a roo yet.. Only 12 weeks old this week.




Not sure why I said Ruffles was our last group.. Probably because he's my favorite.
