Keesmom, they are from Meyers Hatchery. All the chicks I received came in great. It wasn't till the white mystery bird started getting it's wings, that I counted it's toes and realized my birds didn't add up. I will have to call them. Not sure if this happens often, or if I just got "lucky" lol
The first 3 pics are from the same bird. I should have had 3 female and 1 male Salmon Favorelles. This one does not have 5 toes and the wings are not the right color.
Bird 2 above - I believe a female - but feather much lighter then the next ones.

I cant wait!!! My babies are going to be in the mail tomorrow. I hope they do well in the shipping process. Will I be able to know the difference between any of the chick or will it be weeks before that os possible?
Doms, BO, BR, B Brahma, sultan, astrolorps, salmon favs. Oh also a speckled...
North Port / Port Charlotte area. Please add me. I am just starting out, but I am already becoming a chicken addict. Any free time is spent looking at chickens.
I have several breeds coming in next week. I live in Florida and would love to hear from Floridians that have some of these breeds of chickens and how to deal with the heat. Will a reformed shed work, if i put some vents in it? I am getting some dominiques, buff brahmas, barred rocks, black...
