Are you providing grit to go with those worms?

LOL those aren't worms. It was playing with nesting bedding. They eat chicken starter feed.

What designer breeds? What are they a mix of? Neither of them look like sexlinks or autosexing breeds to me

If they only have 3 F chicks left, I'd say you should run go get yours.

That was actually when I first got them. But they just told me they have 9 new chicks that hatched 2 weeks ago and said I can have 2 for free to make sure one is a hen at least. I just asked them if they have already managed to identify the gender for all 9 of them. They also still think the grey one is not a boy but I don't know. I also don't think they fully know the breed of these chicks are because the brown one came out of a dark brown speckled egg and they said that it came from an americana? Confused about that one honestly. That speckled egg down in this pic. I actually would love dark brown eggs and I heard they come from Copper Marans but one with speckles??? They also sent me a pic of the flock these eggs came from.

They told me thwy were both girls but the grey one is the one with no stripe and the brown one is the one with the stripe. I think they think the cream leg bar is the grey one

Neither of those roos are ameraucanas, maybe EE's, so their sexlink traits don't pass on because there is no way of knowing the parentage of the EE's. These folks don't know what they are talking about, just trying to sell chicks
