    Surprise!! Chicks!!

    My sister in law absentmindedly bought too many chicks, and now we are taking on 7 chicks to our flock. She said some of these are Cinnamon Queen, and I’m thinking maybe some Easter Eggers? Would love to hear your thoughts. Bonus if any of them stand out to you as a rooster! Thanks!
