Anyone else get their MPC special? **Pics and updates**

Here's pics of my MPC rainbow layer assortment chicks at 1 week old:

What pretty babies! They look so good. Mine are all still growing and doing fine. I lost the one puny baby, but the rest all seem healthy.

Now I need to take new pics!

Here's pics of my MPC rainbow layer assortment chicks at 2 weeks old (still playing the guessing game!

):

Silver Laced Wyandottes?

Speckled Sussex (left) Brown Leghorn (right)?

White Rocks (these gals are huge!)?:

Golden Sex-Link?

Brown Leghorn?

White Leghorn?

I'd love to see updated pics on everyone's MPC chick orders!

I've been so negligent with the pictures! Your babies are adorable. Mine have a bad case of the fuglies--that inbetween feathers and downy fluff stage. Oh, but they look pitiful!

Tonight they'll move to their "halfway house", also known as my stock trailer. I need them out of the brooder, but the new coop isn't ready yet.

I don't know much about the sexlinks but I think you got the rest of them right!

Here are my MPC rainbow chicks at 3.5 weeks....I think I know what most of them are.....

Barred Rocks, possibly Cuckoo Marans

White Leghorns, hopefully some White Rocks

Silver Laced Wyandottes

Sparkles- Delaware?

Sunshine, Buff Orpington

Goldilocks, GLW

And last but certainly not least, Uno, my one winged chick.

One more look at my one of a kinds.

CHIC, you received a really nice variety! It's awesome to see Uno doing so well; she's definitely a special girl.

I think I got a pretty good variety too! I just wish that there weren't so many dag-on leghorns. I wanted mostly brown eggs. And especially the Brown Leghorns- I think they are really pretty and I don't mind the white eggs so much, but they act like I am going to kill them if I even look at them! They are so neurotic!(spell-check please?..lol)

Isn't it amazing how quickly they transform from little fluffy butts into actual chickens? I'm so glad to see that your one wing baby is still going strong. Sometimes these little critters are tougher than we give them credit for.

Mine got their first treat this week of live prey: mealworms! Boy howdy was that some fun. I'm not sure who liked it more, the birds or my kids.
