We received 12 chicks from Meyers on 7/15, requested all pullets. Ordered 3 specific breeds (Silver Laced Wyandotte, Welsummer and Black Sumatra) then order 2 of the rare assortment and 6 of the rainbow assortment plus the meal maker.
3 of the chicks had leg bands so I was able to identify them as a Blue/Splash Marans, a Black Copper Marans and a Jubilee Orpington, leaving me with 6 mystery chicks. I am pretty sure there is a Barred Rock and a Speckled Sussex, so now I am trying to identify the remaining 4.
Here is black mystery chick #1 not much of a tail compared to her brooder mates, and has slightly fluffy cheeks. Legs are all gray.
Now black mystery chick #2
looks similar to the Black Copper Marans but no fluff on the legs- which have some gray- Black australorp? Black Jersey giant?
Thank you in advance!
