    Chipmunks? And Banties?

    Nope. TSC is the second game in town, lol. We have a single other feed store (and nothing else for 110 miles in any direction, although the hatchery itself is about 100 miles away) in town, whereby they have a single chick day right before Easter. They order 4 breeds, mostly pullets (very few...

    Chipmunks? And Banties?

    Yes, thanks - I was mostly ho humming about whether or not I'd be able to *see* the differences (like the 5 toes for silkes vs the 4 for cochins and the black skin on the silkies) if they won't let me touch them ahead of time. Normally, they scoop them up and dump them in the box while you are...

    Chipmunks? And Banties?

    Afaik, they will always have the slate/greeny legs. And if that's the only breed that looks like a chipmunk *and* has the colored legs, I might be ok. I don't know that they will let me get in there and pick them up, though. I think with the silkies, if they are white, they should have the teal...

    Chipmunks? And Banties?

    All of mine last year looked like chipmunks, fwiw, but I've got one that ended up laying a brown egg. And, where I got them only ordered EEs, whereas TCS never knows what they actually have......... I'm trying to weigh out the pros and cons of getting the ones from TCS (which could mean...

    Chipmunks? And Banties?

    *nods* I'm trying to figure out if I'll reasonably be able to tell the difference because TSC is not known for telling you right, and the last person I talked to said they had no way of knowing what they were. I'm pretty sure there's got to be something on the shipping boxes, but shoot. *sigh*...

    Chipmunks? And Banties?

    I don't suppose you happen to have any pictures? They had some that were pretty big compared to the other chicks (like the ones they called "reds"). I'm just really trying to get just EEs so I can get some more green/blue eggs! I'm already down one, because I have an EE that I'm thinking...

    Chipmunks? And Banties?

    What other breeds besides EEs have chicks that look like chipmunks? I'm going to be getting more chicks from TSC and we all know how that goes- they have no idea what they are. The last batch, they also had some banties that looked like EE chicks, but those, of course, they also have no idea...
