So I'm getting the notorious Mystery lot of 25+ chicks next week. The kids and I would like to harbor guesses as to what each of the chicks are. I guess they could be any of 60 breeds at McMurray. What is a good reference for us?
Also, the kids and cousins want to make two or three "their" chickens. Since it's straight run, we're hoping if they identify 3, odds are at least ONE is a hen!! (Pretty please?!?)
How would you identify/label a chick? My girly daughter has a zillion nail polish colors--could we paint the toes on one of their feet? Or is that cruel and unusual chick punishment? Don't want Chicken CPS at my door!
