Babies From Atwoods...what Breed???? Pics

[texaschickmom]

Hi guys...sold 4 BR roosters on Saturday and heard some little peeps from our Atwood's store in Tyler. Of course I had to stop and replace the roosters with 4 new babies. YEAH! They're tagged as pullets but time will tell on that issue. I've learned my lesson with the BR's. Ha! I have BO's and RIR's so I know these aren't either of those.

Not sure what hatchery Atwoods uses...maybe Ideal here in Texas. I also would like help on the best way to remove their wing bands. I don't have any experience with these. Any help is greatly appreciated!!! Thanks!

Well, I'll save you the confusion and take the little white and black one. Just TOOOO sweet!

Top two are easter eggers (hatcheries call them ameraucana/auracana)

Next one could be a Jersey Giant or Australorp, or maybe a black sexlink

The last one... Mottled Java?

The mottled one looks just like my Exchequer Leghorn that I got from Ideal.

And the second looks like a welsummer or barnevelder ( i had both in my order and cant tell them apart, but look just like number 2)

I have 6 Atwoods babies in my brooder right now, too!

The top 2 appear to be EE's

The 3rd I am not sure.....I have 2 brown/black sex links in the brooder and they're definently not colored the same so they couldn't be those...

The last one is just ADORABLE!

You might be right about #4. I looked at pics of MJ chicks in the "Breed" section and they look very similar. I hope you're right.

You might be right on! I just looked on Ideal's website and my little mottled chick DOES look like the Exchequer Leghorn! Cool...thanks for your response.
