Those first two are adorable!!!!!!!!! Made me smile! Wow, very different chicks indeed! You said they were ALL pullets? That one has a comb already....keep an eye out...always a possibility of an "oops!" in the bunch! LOL
I've been thinking about ordering an assortment myself, just to see what I get for the fun of it! I would like some "color" in my flock and I love surprises! What fun to open that box! What ages did you order..and where from???

The fifth is for sure a Silver Penciled Hamburg

I doubt they are all pullets too. It was the MPC Pullet Assortment, so you know how that goes. I noticed I have a few with a little more comb then requested.

MyPetChicken had a 25 Pullet Assortment on sale for about $49.? Free Shipping. I told them I didn't care what I got as long as there weren't any bantams, cause I don't have any small ones, all standard size. In looking at all of them, I probably got 12 different breeds because I don't see more than 2 of the same kind. I did get only one of the little Black Spike Haired, which I agree is probably a Spitzhauben

and I lost a Sultan to pasty butt at 2 days, but the rest are doing well. There is a little dark one with a beak issue which I posted about in another area. It's been really fun watching them develop and seeing what they turn out to be.

I would worry a little about advanced comb development seeing as they came from MPC....I ordered 8 pullets, one was crowing by four weeks, one more at 8 and I have one more who still looks undecided at 13 weeks. Not at all happy with MPC as you might imagine! At that rate, out of 25 you could end up with 7-10 roos!!!

Hoping not right along with you
