CDAchicks
In the Brooder
As the title says, I have chicks who will be 3 weeks on Tuesday. I initially believed the black chicks I received from Meyer Hatchery, to all be Barred Plymouth Rocks, but it's appearing that only one is a BR and I'm 99% positive he's a cockerel. Wider barring, blurred dot on the head, lighter leg color combo. However, this was just a guess since I'm still knew to guessing chick breeds. Anyway, I ordered 4 straight run Adopt Me Bargains, 1 Production Pack Female, 1 White Egg Layer Assortment Female(which was a Polish that failed to thrive) and a Meyer Meal Maker for a free extra chick. The Production Pack female states that it would be one of the following breeds: Golden Buff, Barred Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, New Hampshire Red, Buff Orpington, Black Australorp or a White Leghorn. So, with this info in hand, guess away!
And here's the BPR's beautiful pictures:
The rest of them have no barring at all. Just a few white feathers on their wings.This first one we call Queenie because she's definitely the bossy one and gives our BR an attitude. Lol.
Next is our Sunshiney yellow who lacks tail feathers so far, but has a fairly chill personality overall.
Next we have slightly flighty, but curious about my hand whenever I reach into the brooder. S/he will peck my hand, but run at all sudden moves. Also the most photogenic so extra photos for this one.
Then there's Queenie's almost twin Luna, but her cheeks aren't as fluffy and she's super flighty and so my hand is in more of her photos. (Queenie also photo bombed in the brooder by sitting on the branch.)
And last but not least, the chick who may or may not be a meat chick. Feathers have started coming in redder than they initially were so this one is a puzzle. I'll put the older photo last to show how fast they changed in 6 days.
And because everyone needs this cuteness in their lives here's my 5 day old pullet that I believe is a Partridge Cochin named Blackberry, followed by the two White Crested Black Polish pullets named Lucy and Ethel (yes, an I Love Lucy reference. I grew up on reruns.) And a little yellow pullet of IDK breed or name yet! (These were all ordered as females and the Cochin and yellow were from the brown egg layer assortment.)
