For anyone that wants to play along here is a game without an answer key lol.
Lets play “Did I get the correct breeds” and “match the breed to the photo”
I bought 20 chicks (was 21 but sadly a little chick passed away) from Peavey Mart (who gets them from Hoover Hatcheries). The chicks should be about 2 weeks old.
Because I like variety I ordered three of 7 different breeds. While I am sure some are going to be difficult to figure (cause of age and mixed breeds) thought it would be interesting to get opinions/guesses.
In a couple weeks I might post some updated photos.
This is what I ordered:
This is the list of what they had available to order online:
- Americana
- Barred Plymouth Rock
- Buff Orpington
- Golf Laced Wyandottes
- Blue Laced Gold Wyandottes
- Rhode Island Red
- Buff Brahma
- Easter Egger
- Starlight Green Egger
- Sapphire Gem
- Bielefelder
- Black Jersey Giant
- Cream Legbar
- Midnight Majestic Marans
- Olive Egger
- Sapphire Olive Egger
- Silver Laced Wyandotte
- Speckled Sussex
- Lavender Orpington
- Light Brahma
What do you think?
