Came back to post our results-
41 eggs set (originally was going to be 42)
Total of 27 hatched
- 6 of the 7 white rock eggs hatched (mine)- this was a good set for mine, but I only have 2 hens and 1 roo
- 21 of 34 eggs were my aunt's black amar. & other mixed breeds- she has 28 hens to 2...
Hello all-
I'm not a big poster here now, mostly lurk and re-read threads of interest.
But I wanted to say that I'm playing along with the hatch! My aunt and I are doing a full assortment of 42 eggs from her farm and mine. I have white rocks and she has everything else
So- count me in, and...
Ok- so after spending a couple days lurking around, looking at pictures, and re-reading the posting requirements
I have re-posted some close ups of the breeds I don't really know very well.
AND...I found out, that I DO have some with fluffy legs...OMG.
Ok...So.....now that I am better...
I was also curious if Guineas show their sex with their legs like chickens sometimes do?
Example- lay a chick on its back (in your palm)- if it draws its legs in supposedly its a female, and if it pushes out its legs, supposedly itrs a roo.
(I'm not claiming accuracy- just an old fashioned way...

From what they told me, they do ship different birds on different days....
Chickens on Saturday
Guineas on Tuesdays....
(Anyone care to add to that??)
I appreciate all the help.
So far we have 2 white chested black polish, 8 White Rocks, 2 white polish. = 12 of 34....
The "chipmunk" markings on several have developed slight differences, mostly on the shade and type of lines down their back. Some even have developed "spots" with their...

Wow! Thank you so much. I was wondering if BYC had a list of just the chicks, that one could browse through to match up photos. I have seen the list of the adults, but nothing that has just chicks....
Is that a Possible idea for a post??
But, regardless, right now I know I lost a...

In this case- they send whatever they want. The only ones I knew for sure were the White Rocks, since I already have some of them, and wanted to have more.
It could be anything. 25 of "what-ever we can reach and throw in the box....."
But, I have to be able to identify what was DOA-...
Ok.....So I got my order from McMurray, and wanted some help in identifying them....
I know there are 8 White Rocks (Part of the order)
But the other ones I am not sure on.
I can tell you none of them have furry legs. Any help at all would be great- since I have to idenitfy some of the ones...
I wanted to post on here, since I am dealing with MCM right now regarding my order.
Several months ago I placed my order for 8 WR, and 25 SR of the Special Ass. Bargain chicks. I got the call from the main post office on Saturday night that they had arrived (The shipping date was supposed to be...
Here are my 2 week old White Rocks, and I am curious as to what sex they might be. Thanks for looking...and for taking a guess.
All four together.....

Hello!
I have been reading this site since I bought my newest babies- and I love it. Everyone has the most darlin´fluffies, but I am in need of some help. I bought the beauties below last week, and they were listed as White Rocks, but since reading so much on here, I began to wonder. Do they...
