    Assorted Bantam surprise

    Sorry about getting the comb wrong! lol, I always get that mixed up. But yeah, he's my cutie. Some of his feathers do look kind of barred. Our store orders from Ideal, so he could be barred. I was hoping he would end up mottled or something like that. He does have a really neat little attitude...

    Assorted Bantam surprise

    This little sweetheart was a gift from my aunt. On a visit to Atwoods, I of course could not keep myself away from the chicks. Knowing that I had a decent flock at home, and my husband would kill me, I fell in love with a teeny tiny little chick, which was white and gray. So I picked the one...

    Easter Cochin!

    For some reason I didn't even consider the idea of it being a Brahma I feel dumb, lol.

    Easter Cochin!

    I'm not sure what the popular opinion is on Easter dyed chicks, but seeing a brooder full of brightly colored puffballs at my local feed store was a little too much for me to resist, reguardless of how many chicks I had back home. So, I made some excuse about getting it for my three year old...

    MM "Rare Exotic"

    Thank you for the pictures! Mine definitely looks like yours on the far right. After this picture, and the new gray-ish feathers he's been getting in, I'm starting to lean in the favor of a very pale Blue Andalusian. He's very pretty though as he gets bigger - right now he's like a diamond white...

    MM "Rare Exotic"

    Here it is again at 4 weeks. It does have a slight blue tint to him when we bring him indoors or in the shade, and he's starting to get light gray feathers in his wings on tail feathers which you can kind of see in the pictures. His comb is also growing pretty fast, which makes me think he's a...

    MM "Rare Exotic"

    Lol, I have a lot of breeds to guess from. I will definitely have to post pictures of it as it gets a little bigger. I was hoping for maybe a BA when I saw the bright little chick in our bunch, especially since I was hoping our free chick was actually "rare" or "exotic". I originally marked out...

    MM "Rare Exotic"

    After looking at the Murray McMurray website, he's either a White Rock, a White Orpington, a White Wyandotte, or a Pearl-White Leghorn. As he's getting bigger, I'm pretty sure he's a rooster, his comb is getting bigger than my other chicks, but I'm really not able to tell for sure what kind of...

    MM "Rare Exotic"

    He is standard size, his legs are very pale, I don't know what the technical color would be, but they are slightly slate. It looks like he has a single comb...I think. Honestly though, I have no idea what kind of comb he might have lol. I'm too new with chickens to be able to tell with certainty!

    MM "Rare Exotic"

    Ok, so I've determined this little guy is my free exotic. (I'm assuming its a male, rumor has it most free chicks from hatcheries are males) The issue is I have no idea what kind of chicken it is. I've looked through Murray McMurray's catalog even and most chicks don't look as white as he was...

    Murray Mcmurray!

    I went ahead and went through with my order from mcmurray and my chicks arrived super fluffy and healthy, not a single one sickly. I have to admit I was really worried after reading all the horror stories but my post office called ne on Monday morning and I went straight there to pick up all...

    Hoping for Silkies and a Cochin

    I'd guess Gold-Laced Polish...Its adorable! So hard to look at any chicks anywhere, its so hard to say no. And I love finding special breeds just by chance :) Its a great surprise.

    Hoping for Silkies and a Cochin

    Empty nest syndrome! Lol, it was a bad place to go..I had three chicks at home, and we have 15 on the way from Murray Mcmurray, but no bantams and these were just so perfect! I'm lucky too, the only kind of chicken my husband wanted me to get was a bantam buff cochin, so he's pretty excited

    Hoping for Silkies and a Cochin

    We went to Atwoods the other day, and I couldn't help myself when I spotted the feather-footed chick with black skin in amongst the Assorted Bantams. So I picked out every chick with feathered feet (which totaled 5) and brought them home, and I'm fairly sure I ended up with four Silkies and a...
