cabot...i noticed your yellow (or beige) EE doesn't have the greenish legs (at least that's what i THINK when i look at the pic). i have a yellow chick with tufts that i'm assuming is an EE and it doesn't have the greenish legs...but the chipmunk EE do have the greenish legs. is this normal?
 
I get my chicks on thursday!!! It's going to be the longest two days ever!!! Cute pics by the way!

For telling chicks apart my best recomendation is to look at the McMurray hatchery website. They have great pics of newly hatched chicks in almost every kind you can get from a hatchery. But don't make my mistake- before you go questioning your guesses, COUNT the chicks. I thought for sure I messed something up because I saw 4 that looked like columbian wyandottes , and I only ordered 2.
Turns out they sent me a total of 4 free chicks, and I didn't know it till week 2 when we counted and recounted and kept coming up with 30.
Best part is, the 2 extra columbians turned out to be girls, even though I ordered straight run. So I got 4 girls when I statistically should only have recieved one.
 
at this point, neither of the EEs have green legs but they both have tufts/muffs on their faces. Maybe the green will be more evident when they get a bit older...

*sigh* I'm waiting still for my MPC order. I'm expecting them tomorrow at the earliest, but probably thursday. I would just be sooooooooo excited to get them tomorrow. I even went and did my shopping today so I wouldn't have to worry about leaving to go to the store for milk or bread once my babies got here.

All were alive, one little wobble perked right up. Only problem one with crooked toe. Would have been posting pictures, sooner but I have been home alone trying to splint the toe

Brooder Dog Dasher: He LOVES babies! He was so gentle with baby kitties, let them nurse against him, loves the bunny, hopefulle will love the chickens! He is guarding them in the bathroom as I type.
