    TSC chicks... Bantam Assorted

    TSC said this hatchery doesn't seem to label much. They are arriving as "Pullets", " straight run" or "Bantam". I'm new and excited but frustrated, especially since the required 6, leaves me waiting for a good mix. Here is the new bantam lot.[/IMG][/IMG] I tried to crop some individuals...
